Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have chronic cough and fatigue while on antibiotics which is due to chronic lung infection or bronchitis which can cause chronic cough. If it is not getting better with antibiotics then the symptoms could be due to viral infection or allergic reaction. I would suggest you to visit pulmonologist once and get it examined. You should go for pulmonary function tests as well to check exact level of infection. You need inhaled bronchodilators antiviral like acyclovir and antihistamine drug. You should get x-ray chest done as well. You should take cough expectorants as well. You should use mist humidifiers in room.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
