How Can Chronic Cough Be Treated?
I have had a cough with mucus for over two weeks. I have been taking an antibiotic which I thought was helping at first, now, 5 days later it seems to have little effect. If anything I think I’m getting worse. I’m wondering if this may be viral as opposed to bacterial? Shirley
