Treatments	Resolution of cough
Antibiotics vs antitussives	χ² = 5.999 (p < 0.05)
Antibiotics vs peripheral antitussives	χ² = 8.998 (p < 0.01)
Antibiotics vs central antitussives	χ² = 0.280 (p = NS)
Antibiotics + antitussives vs antitussives	χ² = 0.053 (p = NS)
Antibiotics + peripheral antituss. vs peripheral antitussives	χ² = 0.016 (p = NS)
