Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As you are getting these symptoms frequently they are suggesting me that your having some allergic manifestations. Your symptoms will be exacerbated when you are exposed to the allergens like dust, mite, food and the pollens.

As your doctor has prescribed the tab Montek LC, it will reduce the symptoms and improve your condition.

Antibiotics is not required now, you have to identify the allergen causing these symptoms and try to avoid them. For the cough you can take syrup like Bricarex which will reduce the cough.
Thank you.
