A cough recurring for 2 months needs evaluation, not repeated antibiotics or cough syrup. I would assess you for asthma/allergy, post-nasal drip, reflux and other chest causes, with examination and tests if needed. Please avoid self-medication and note any fever, breathlessness, wheezing, weight loss or smoking exposure. You can book a Practo consult with me or visit me at Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj.
Next Steps
Please arrange a clinical evaluation soon; seek urgent care if breathlessness, chest pain, high fever or blood in sputum develops.

Your cough coming back again after two months and a course of antibiotics needs a proper look, not just another round of syrup at home.
Next Steps
Please see a general physician in person for a chest examination or further tests to find out what's keeping this cough going.
Health Tips
Please don't repeat the same cough syrup or antibiotics on your own if this continues.

As the cough has persisted for 2 months and keeps recurring, I would recommend that you consult me once. We can discuss your symptoms in detail and decide whether you need any tests such as a chest X-ray/PFT and what treatment would be appropriate.
Next Steps
You can continue Grilinctus for symptomatic relief.
Health Tips
TB has to be ruled out by taking a detailed history.
