HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Montek-LC is not an antibiotic. It contains medication to help with allergies by reducing the release of chemicals in the body that cause an allergic response.

The most common cause of chronic cough is post nasal drip usually due to allergies. The other common causes are asthma and gastroesophageal reflux.
The fact that the cough stops when you use montek implies that it may be due to allergies causing a post nasal drip.

In addition to the montek-LC, you may want to use a topical steroid nasal spray.

I hope this helps
