Antibiotics
An infection can be a cause of chronic cough. If you are suffering from pertussis, tuberculosis, bronchitis, bacterial sinusitis, or bacterial pneumonia, your healthcare provider would prescribe antibiotics. Keep in mind to finish the full course to ensure effectiveness. For instance, if you are prescribed with a 2-week treatment, it is important to take the antibiotics for the full period even when you feel like all symptoms have improved. [9]
