A member asked:
Family has a cold then cough for nearly a month (clear mucus). worsened recently. husband has asthma and on antibiotics somewhat improved. what next?

Cough?: You don't treat asthma with an antibiotic. There are a number of good medicines to treat your husband's asthma. If her is still coughing after a month maybe he should be seen by someone else to help him manage his condition.
