Maybe: Levaquin (levofloxacin) & zpak are both reasonable antibiotics for pneumonia & bronchitis. However, your body may not like one or the other or even both. There's only one way to find out! it's alo possible that what you thought was a side effect was actually just a coincidence. Just sayin'! there are some bacteria that might be resistant to one or the other or even both. Only way to be sure is to check sputum cs.

Probably....: You will likely be fine taking zithromax. But, if you develop worsening shortness of breath or a new rash, notify your doctor. Hope you feel better soon!
