Best Answer

Coughing is treated with cough medicine. If you have an infection, such as an upper respiratory infection, that is causing the coughing, then that may be treated with an antibiotic, but a cough that is not due to an infection is not treated with an antibiotic.

People do not develop a resistance to antibiotics, instead bacteria in the body resist the effects of the antibiotic.
