Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that you may have bronchits. Bronchitis can be viral or bacterial.
The antibiotics may help if it is bacterial. Other aspects of treatment may include the use of medication that can reopen the airway (sometimes persistent coughing is related to airway closure).
These medications are often combined with mucolytics which may break down the mucus in your chest.
The use of honey and humidfiers may also help with your symptoms.
I hope this helps
