Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain the symptoms of cough and phlem in chest does not seems to be due to antibiotics and painkillers that are given to you for dental infection..
Rather, it can be due to causes like Bronchitis, Lung infection, COPD etc..

Consult a Pulmonologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like chest x-ray, CBC, ESR etc can help in diagnosis and treatmet can be done accordingly..

As of now start taking cough suppressant containing Dextromethorphan and cough expectorant containing Gueifenesin..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
