What Causes Severe Cough After Taking Macrobid?

Hi. I have taken macrobid in the past for UTI and it gave me a bad cough. It went away after I finished taking them. I m back on it now and this time the cough is so bad I think I may have bronchitis. I m afraid to stop taking it because this UTI has reoccurred but they also gave me a shot of another antibiotic. I m afraid to keep taking it though because my lungs hurt very badly and I feel so sick. I also take alburerol and an inhaled corticosteroid for asthma. What should I do. I had the shot and taken 3 days of macrobid.

Hello,

As you explain the history you should do a chest X-ray to see about bronchitis. Please discuss with your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
