HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
In addition to your antibiotic, you may need a mucolytic. This would be medication to break up the mucus in your chest so that it can be expelled easier.
There are different options available such as bisolvan, mucomyst, guaifenesin. These should be available over the counter.
The cough can sometimes last up to 6 weeks.
I hope this helps
