Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this cough that you have reported. I have reviewed this information fully and this is probably suggestive of an infection. I will recommend that you get an antibiotic for this. The most commonly prescribed antibiotics is Amoxicillin for 7days. However, this can only be obtained using a script from the doctor. Talk to your doctor for this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
