They will probably only prescribe antibiotics if it’s been over 2 weeks and not getting any better. My daughter gets a bad cough every winter and it’s off and on for months. She uses an inhaler and sometimes allergy medicine. She only gets an antibiotic if it’s a severe cough that won’t go away.

It’s contagious if it’s from a virus or if it’s Acute and not chronic. They generally don’t prescribe antibiotics. With a virus you have to let it run its course. So taking him in may just expose him to more germs and make him prolong getting better.
