Can a pharmacist extend my antibiotic prescription?

No, a pharmacist cannot extend a prescription for antibiotics. It is important to keep in mind that a cough can take several weeks to resolve, even after recovering. If the symptoms persist for more than 7 days without improvement, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional again. It is also suggested to maintain nasal hygiene with saline solution and drink plenty of fluids to help with congestion and cough.
