Just let the antibiotics do their stuff - you say that you are feeling improved apart from the cough.
Well the cough will take a while to go because the phlegm that has built up with the infection has to go somewhere - some will go south and some will end up being coughed up.
It can take weeks to get rid of a cough from a nasty infection -you need to not be so impatient and reassess the situation once the antibiotics are finished.
In the meantime you need to drink lots of fluids (to help break up the phlegm as well as keeping you hydrated), keep warm and rest.
It will get better - it just takes time and all this constant winding yourself up over it will only slow down the healing process. Try and relax.
