Hello,
Thanks for asking at HCM
You need to get your cough examined for culture and sensitivity.
The morning cough is important and needs to be sent for examination.
Even after a course of antibiotics if the cough is not getting cured then the organism for causing the infection needs to be found out.
You can take a course of antibiotic like quinolones like the levofloxacin which i advice to my patients.
In doubt do reply
