<s>[INST] I am 30 years old and I have had a cough for over 2 months now.I have taken syrups which have not done anything. I later turned onto antibiotics and nothing worked ! My cough is largely dry but sometimes there is thin salty spittle coming out. Please help! [/INST] Hello rearward welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query in details .* The cough since 2 months not responding to antibiotics need evaluation with basic lab tests, x-ray chest with or without further detailed work up ( CT scan, pulmonary function test) depending upon the primary evaluation.* Without precise cause evaluation, empiric syrups or antibiotics are strongly not recommended in this case. Hope this clears your query. Wishing you fine recovery. Feel free to ask any further doubts. Regards . </s>
