Hello!
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think that it may be a common flu or a bacterial bronchitis. I would recommend to consult with your GP and have a culture of your sputum, to examine if it is from viral or bacterial causes.
In case of a bacterial infection oxithromycine it is OK to be used for 5 days and if needed up to 10 days twice daily.
I would also recommend Zolpidem, 1 tb before sleep for a week to help you with your sleeping problems.
Hope to have been of help!
Greetings!
