Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of appetite loss and dry cough after taking Ofloxacin which seems to be due to chronic upper respiratory tract infection. The symptoms can also occur as side effects of antibiotics . Eat probiotics food for few day and symptoms will peobably go away. . I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles. You should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get paranasal sinus x-ray done along with throat swab test and blood tests and start treatment after proper diagnosis. You should for fine needle and aspiration cytology as well. Take proper course of antibiotics. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids. Apply mist humidifiers in room. Avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
