HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may be having a recurrence of your infection or it is possible that you were re exposed.
If the coughing and discomfort continues or worsen, it may be best to see your doctor for a review.
You may not need antibiotics but assessment would determine this.
I hope this helps
