Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Violent cough with antibiotics for last 10 days can cause a mild stomach upset and the abdominal distension as you have noticed. This is mostly a reversible distension and subside on its own without any treatment once the infection is over. Please do not worry.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Rakhi-Tayal
