When son bends over his cough is more barky, he's had bronchitis for two weeks and he's 14 he got antibiotics last week but no improvement?

Postinfectious Cough: Sometimes the infection clears but the cough persists for few weeks fit due to irritation/inflammation of the throat. Because he is 14, you can give him otc Mucinex (guaifenesin) or robitussin. If its not improving , have his doc check him.
