Was having cough for 2 month clear mucus and no other symptoms. Consulted pulmonologist and he suggested antibiotics , and she started the course but later she consulted another doc she said it's viral, and no need of antibiotics . But since she started she needs to continue antibiotics , will it be dangerous for her will it cause resistance or super bug ?

It's not this easy to develop resistance in just one course, however a very detailed evaluation is needed in this case as to why and which Antibiotics were started and how to stop or continue the same, please follow up with a Pulmonologist for the same
