call your doctor back. Some people say a mixture of honey and lemon can help.

Take a night cough medicine (over the counter). If you were on antibiotics for your cough, either you need more medication or the cause is viral and you need to wait it out. Get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids.

If you are sure it is "just a cough" Robitussin makes a teeny little gel cap "Just for coughs" They work for about 8 hours.

Try getting an allergy mattress encasing and an encasing for your pillow. If it's drainage from you sinuses, maybe you should prop yourself up on a few pillows instead of laying down flat.

well Kay it sound like you need a nother round of antibotics. See if you can get hycodan from your Doctor and more Drugs to get rid of that junk in your chest. Your probably had sinusitis or broncitus.
Good luck

All that advice is good. You probably have a sinus infection that didn't get completely cured. Or it could be an allergy.

It doesn't sound like a cold. I think, it is an allergy or maybe bronchitis. Call your doctor again.
