If you only have a mild cough, you should NOT be on antibiotics... Antibiotics should be reserved for serious or long-lasting illnesses ONLY. It is the over-use and over prescribing of antibiotics that produce antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Even using antibiotic soaps and household cleaners contributes to the problem. Better off to let your body fight it off, and only use antibiotics as a last resort. In fact, a lot of times they are prescribed for viral infections, which they are useless for anyways.
Okay, that's my rant. I gotta stop studying biology
