HI
Well come to HCM
If this is not infection then antibiotic may not work here, cough symptoms more than one month old need to be brought to investigation, x-ray chest is must, most of the time such cough may be allergic in origin but this should never be granted if not responding to antihistamine, hope this information helps, take care.
