Taken Zpak For Upper Respiratory Infection. Dry Cough, Breathlessness, Post Nasal Drip, Phlegm. No Fever
I just recently took a zpak for an upper respiratory infection. The last few nights I have awoke gasping for air after a dry cough. I do feel like I have a little bit of a post nasal drip still and a dry cough that is not productive. Feel some phlegm in the back of my throat. Do not have fever or any other symptoms. I do feel a bit fatigued and like I cannot take a deep breath.....
