Chest infection or long standing virus?

I am 24 weeks pregnant and have been suffering from a chesty cough since early Nov (with intermittent low level temp).

I held out for a while as i didnt want to take antibiotics but was finally given amoxycillin in 2nd half of Nov. It got a bit better but didnt go and then got worse so last week I started on erythromycin (sp?). Obviously during this time i have been consuming far more paracetamol than I am happy with too.

Today is last day of AB's and cough has not gone (though I am in a better state than when i started on them). Is this likely to mean that it really is a virus that has just been going on for weeks and weeks (7) and it will shift on its own eventually?

thanks

This might be a daft suggestion but it's not mild asthma is it? This happened to a friend of mine.
