Coughing for over 2 weeks in the winter is a common problem. It can be from a virus (will not respond to antibiotics), an infection of the sinuses, or  bronchitis, as indicated by your physician.  If it is persisting, a good physical examination can help in making the diagnosis.  Occasionally, other diagnostic tests, such as chest and sinus x-rays are needed.  Before starting on another antibiotic, I would speak to your physician again or see him/her and seeing if this is the next step to take.
