I Started Getting Sick - Fever, Sore Throat, Cough And

I started getting sick - fever, sore throat, cough and runny nose - around 11/21 while vacationing in Malaysia. I was coughing up green mucus/phlegm and was blowing out green nasal mucus as well. I took some amoxicillin for a few days and it cleared my fever and the green mucus. The sore throat, cough and runny nose improved some. After returning from vacation, I saw my doctor who diagnosed my problem as acute bronchitis. I had a chest X-ray done and the results came back negative/cleared. I was prescribed with symbicort and cheratussin. I've been taking the cheratussin and over-the-counter cough syrup (night-time severe cold and flu) but my cough seems to get a little worst since I got back. I've been getting quite a bit of rest (going to bed around 7:30PM or by 8PM, and waking up around 4-ish in the mornings) but I don't seem to get better with medication. As of today, it has been 27 days that I've been coughing.
