Six Weeks Ago I Started Having Coughing Episodes That Progressed
Six weeks ago I started having coughing episodes that progressed with chest congestion. After 4 weeks I went to urgent care. Told I had bronchitis. Prescribed albuterol zpak and cough syrup. Seemed to get better after two days then came back and started getting worse with malaise productive cough green phlegm chest tightness sob...my doctor I work for said I have walking pneumonia but no cxr done. So this was 6 weeks later and she prescribed cipro 500mg bid and Flovent. I'm on my third day of atb/inhaler and still have sx and still hear fluid in right lower lobe....I feel feverish but no fever....how long do I give these second set of atb to work?
