Common cold/bronchitis?

2017-12-31 02:28:15
On Monday I had a sore throat. On Tuesday I had a sore throat and coughed up mucus. On Wednesday I went to my doctor and started azithromycin (2 first day, 1 the next 4 days). Today is Friday and I have no sore throat, semi-productive cough. When am I no longer contagious?
