LPM, you should check with your doctor as to why he prescribed the antibiotics. If it's a cough from a cold, they won't do anything. If it's something else, he needs to tell you that instead of making up the bit about a cough from the cold.
A lot of doctors like to prescribe antibiotics as a "feel good" medicine so patients think they're getting something out of the doctor's visit. It's not only dishonest, but it costs you extra money, and it adds to the problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
