Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
You can continue antibiotic and complete the course.
If its dry cough you can use dextromethorphine based cough syrup for effective relief.
Avoid smoking.
You will be fine.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.
Wish you a good health and speedy recovery.
