Asthma: Azithromycin treats infections like Mycoplasma. Mycoplasma can trigger an asthma attack like viruses/ allergies. Asthma needs to be managed with bronchodilator/ possibly oral steroids.

Asthma: Use you inhaler for cough and chest tightness and if you are on a maintenance medication, talk to your doctor about adjusting the dose during your illness. If you are not on one, you may need one for a few weeks
