Chronic cough: We can't answer this question without a clinical examination and additional information. Did your doctor put you on antibiotics or are you self-medicating? You need to return to your doctor for a thorough exam, or consult a specialist.

Don't stop: As you should take your medication as directed unless otherwise specified. But it sounds like you need a re-evaluation by your doctor, as you may require other interventions to augment the antibiotics you are own.
