What Causes Deep Cough And Congestion Inspite Of Taking Ceftin For Respiratory Infection?

Three days ago, I finished antibiotics (ceftin) for an upper respiratory infection. I still have a persistent, deep but productive cough whereby white, clear mucous ( sorry) is discharged from my lungs. Otherwise I feel really good. How do I stop this cough?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
YOUR INFECTION MAY HAVE BEEN CONTROLLED BUT THERE STILL MAY BE SOME RESIDUAL INFLAMATION
STEAM INHALATION WOULD HELP BUT A VISIT TO THE TREATING PHYSICIAN FOR A FOLLOW UP WOULD BE BETTER SO THAT IF THERE IS ANY NEED FOR FURTHER MEDICATION CAN BE ASSESSED
