Hi
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.
It seems to me you are not having the infection any more. It must be associated with allergic bronchitis.
If your cough is more then three weeks get a tuberculosis test done.
Take anti allergic medications instead of antibiotics like citrizene or levocitrizine.
Also take hot steam inhalations 2-3 times daily.
Avoid dusty and smoky places or too much outside if your city is polluted too much.
Hope you will be healthy soon.
Regards
