A member asked:
I've been on amoxicillin 875mg for 5 days for strep throat. my throat feels better, but my cough has not gotten better at all. should i be concerned?

Could be your sinus: chronic sinuses infection can cause such, and few days of antibiotics won't clear it, please see your doctor again, might prescribe you more, a different antibiotic, or whatever deems necessary up to her/his judgement
