General & Family Physician, Dr. Varinder's Response
Hello,
You should take antibiotics for 7 days more as total 14 days therapy is needed. Take steam inhalation. A cough will decrease in intensity slowly. Do not worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
