There is a reason why the cough is called a "lingering cough". Even after the infection it takes time for sputum to go in form of cough.
Give it time.
Take syrup ambroxol 15mg + salbutamol 2mg syrup thrice daily one spoon before breakfast -lunch-dinner for next 15 days.
Continue the antibiotics if given.
And yes, smoking history needs to be ruled out.
Kindly Consult for further evaluation.
