Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic The acute infection appears to be still present because your cough is still productive. You may want to consider the use of a mucolytic which is a type of medication that breaks up the mucus in the chest . This would allow it to be easily expelled. They are available over the counter. Examples are bisolvan, mucomyst, aeroflux, guaifenesin. Persistent coughing can be associated with chest pain as well. A cough suppressant to reduce the coughing and an anti inflammatory pain medication for the pain , may be helpful. Eg are ibuprofen, naproxen, cataflam I hope this helps
