Coughing for 5 weeks.. took 3 course of anti biotic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not infection?: Cough is a difficult problem to treat. There are many reasons why people cough. Infection is one with sinus infection and lung infections very common. Reflux is another reason and asthma a third very common reason. Often these problems can overlap making it even more difficult. Three antibiotic courses without improvement make me think that you either have reflux or asthma. Get another opinion.
