Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.

You have problem of uncontrollable cough.
Uncontrollable cough more common in pneumonia patient.Bronchitis may convet into pneumonia .

You have pain on lower zone at left side also....
So I suggest you take one chest x ray for further diagnosis.

Complete your antibiotic course as your doctor suggest.

Do sputum culture test also....
Continue your drugs....Complete your drug course.
Obseve your color of cough also if it is rusty in color that may be because of pneumonia.

Consent a pulmonologist for further diagnosis.

I hope my guidance is helpful to you.
Take care.
Thanks.
