Got Cough?

I don't know about you, but once a cold migrates down to my chest, that's it. I'm coughing for weeks. Friends of mine who tend to run to the doctor for that sort of thing come back with (of course) a prescription for antibiotics. They tell me they feel better right away, but, I've noticed, they're still usually coughing. A study of 2,000 patients in Europe showed that antibiotics are no better than a placebo at getting rid of a non-pneumonia cough caused by a chest infection: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-20767470
