Please do not take antibiotics without a prescription.
It can do more harm than benefit.
If you had a one day cough, you most likely do not need it.
Warm water and some cough syrup in case you need it for now.
If the cough persists beyond a could of days , consult with a Dr and hen/ she will tell you if you need antibiotics then.
