Hello,
Your symptoms can be related to bronchitis which is an inflammation of the bronchi. It causes severe coughing. I suggest to continue the Azithromycine. I also recommend using an anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation. I recommend to use an expectorant to help with the cough and drink liquids.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
