<s>[INST] Last month I have severe cough that last for 2 weeks .First doctor prescibed Toplexil, Cirrus, and azomycin but after 2 days of taking the medicines my cough become more persistent. Then doctor gave me Mucolyte, zyrtec and continue azomycin for 5 day, My cough still continue and I was given prednisolone 5mg and Factive to be taken for 6 days also advised to use nebulizer ( ventolin and atrovent) since I'm having difficulty braething as well, only then I got better.Now I'm having the same problem although my cough is not worse than of last month. Can I take Mucolyte and Aerious at the same time to treat my cough? do I need to take antibiotic ? I'm worried that I may have the same problem of last month.
