Coughing for 2 wks now, have asthma, prescribed with montelucast, and cefuroxime why is my cough worse now and dry? thanks.

Re evaluation: montelukast and cefuroxime, might not be enough, as it could be just viral illness flaring up your asthma symptoms, you need rescue medicines and probably a potent anti-inflammatory, please revisit your doctor or an asthma specialist
