Hi,
A dry cough and breathlessness are due to respiratory tract infections from bacteria.
You have started taking drugs continue it but do one thing take antibiotic coverage as well like Levofloxacin. It will take one to two weeks to recover completely. Don't be panic just continue drugs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
