My baby is 7months and has been suffering with a wet cough and runny nose on and off for over 2 weeks. she is also teething not sleeping well and has alot of what sounds like mucus on her chest. the dr gave antibiotics it hasn't worked please help?

Have her rechecked: Likely a virus which is why she isn't better with antibiotics.Viruses get better on their own.They also don't work right away.However, at that age,I would recommend that she get rechecked by the doctor in person, so that she can be properly re-evaluated and if other treatment is necessary,do that. Unfortunately,we cannot do that here.Certainly if she is worsening, that is more urgent.
