A member asked:

I was put on augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) for a double ear infection which turned into bronchitis. i feel better to a degree. i still have a dry cough. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Residual effect: Bronchitis actually alters some sensitive linings in the lungs & the typical patient can have a cough last up to a month. Most do not but it's common.The cough does not mean you are relapsing or need more abx.
