Need to be seen: If you have a temp, or are getting worse, then you need to be seen and the provider will determine if you need an antibiotic.

The only way...: Cough can definitely be a sign of asthma but it could also be associated with other conditions. I cannot tell you if you need an antibiotic because I would need more information and examine you. However, I can definitely agree that at this point of not getting better you need to see your doctor for evaluation and treatment as soon as possible.
