She will need more medication. Sometimes these infections need a course of antibiotics for a longer period than is normally prescribed. It's also possible that she needs a different antibiotic. The best thing to do is have your vet recheck Lola as soon as possible, so they can evaluate her and advise on the best course of action. I hope that helps and Lola gets better soon.

The antibiotics should have worked by now and the coughing should be reduced if they were working. I would take him back to the vet for a recheck. It may be time to get a sample and send it to the lab for analysis. This is more expensive, but will positively identify the cause and identify the necessary treatment. I hope that helps and Riley gets better soon.
