stay on low dose antibiotic indefinitely for chronic cough.

My ID doc attributed the reduced cough to the anti-inflammatory effect of many antibiotics. In other words, it is not really treating an infection, it is reducing the inflammation/irritation in the lungs/trachea/throat.

I believe that is the case. The antibiotic is treating symptoms not any particular infection.
