Cough has come back after antibiotics
Finished round of clarithromycin but still had chesty wet persistent cough. Went back and was prescribed azyrthomiacin for 4 days, which seemed to clear it up I felt mich better, but two days after the last dose the cough is back. Is this just the clearance of stuff from my lungs? Also feeling very nasally congested again.
