Question 1

why since i've been on zpack my throat feels clogged and dry ?

Accepted Answer

Coincidence?: You didn't mention why you were prescribed the z-pak. If you're taking the antibiotic for a sore throat, the clogged dry feeling might be a result of the infection. If you're taking the antibiotic for some other reason, it's more likely that you're describing a coincidental symptom. Difficulty swallowing or breathing and/or oral ulcers needs to be evaluated emergently.

Accepted Answer

Acute sinusitis?: Sounds like you may have an acute sinusitis. Given the 10 day time frame, it could still be viral.  I would start with guaifenisin (brand name mucinex) twice daily, use some topical nasal spray (afrin) and flush your nose with saline solution as much as you can tolerate. If you start having fevers or the cough becomes productive, or if this continues for 2 more weeks i would consult your physician.

OTC meds: Sounds like an allergy exacerbation or an early cold. I would recommend Claritin (loratadine) or claritin-d which are both over the counter (otc).
