What type of cough is it? Junky? Dry? If you've been on antibiotics for 2 weeks and it's not working, maybe you need to do a sputum culture to test sensitivities to different antibiotics to try something different. However, sometimes when I'm sick - I get that dry, non-productive cough. Sometimes I need prednisone to control the latter...

Make sure you're doing your airway clearance to bring up all the "goodies". Even with a lot of antibiotics, it's difficult to overcome infection unless you are expelling the mucus.

Hope this helps :-/
