Z Pac: Lasts for about ten days HOWEVER "TROUBLE BREATHING" is NOT NORMAL with an "ordinary" viral upper respiratory infection!! You need to see a physician and may need a chest xray! Hope this helps! Good Luck Dr Z

Need re-evaluation: If you are still having that many symptoms after a 5 day antibiotic course, you need to be seen by a doctor. Sounds like you have reactive airways/asthma which can accompany an upper respiratory infection. Please go in today/now! Best wishes!

Sounds like: You need a follow up with your doctor. Multiple things could cause you to feel what you mention. It's possible that you are stricken with a bacteria that is resistant to azithromycin. Alternatively, you could have residual inflammation that may require alternative treatment(s) beyond antibiotics. It's possible that you were suffering from a virus that won't respond to antibiotics.

Breathing issues: I suggest a followup vist if just coughing or congested;however, if you are truly short of breath-GO TO ER OR UC clinic.
