Is Attention Required If Sick When After Zpak Medication?
Hello, I am in day three of taking zpak. I have alot of mucus in my nose and lungs. I am constantly coughing, I am weak, and my lungs are starting to burn. The doctor at Urgent Care called it bronchitis, and asked if I had ever had pneumonia. I am taking cpugh syrup and using an inhaler. My question is, after Thursday when I am done with my meds, if I am still this sick, should I go to the hospital, urgent care again, or just be patient?

Hi,
Z-pack is good upper and lower respiratory tract antibiotic.
continue till full course.
Cough and other symptoms may remain for few days more.
Continue with cough syrup and inhaler.
If there is no improvement then go for complete blood checking and x-ray chest to have diagnosis the condition.
Ok and take care.
