Still coughing. Finished the z pack a week ago. Why would I still be coughing alot. I have been sick for since the week before Xmas. π¬ mind you every time I cough I pee. I'm wearing pantyliners but in getting so aggregated. 17 weeks pregnant.
Antibiotics clears the infection, not the symptom usually. It can take a month or more for a cough to dissipate and you should be going for another appointment to make sure that the infection cleared to begin with as sometimes 1 round of antibiotics isnβt enough
My whole family has had this since Xmas. My husband went to doctors for antibiotics and so did all of my children. I'm the only one that did not but we all still have symptoms from it. Especially the mucus and runny nose. This cold, which the doctors said it was bronchitis, seems to never go away. Also CDC says antibiotics are pretty much pointless to take for bronchitis so that's why I did not take them.
I waited to try antibiotics. I only did because I had the worse sinus pressure my head and eyes were in so much pain. Bending down, coughing and moving was excruciating and when I blew my nose it was neon the antibiotics have stopped the sinus pressure and when I blow my nose its normal. The cough is now what is annoying me. π
