SPARINGLY USING AN: Antibiotic is asking for trouble. As it is today, we deal with enough bacteria that have found a way not to get killed by most antibiotics, so you are far from doing yourself a favor. Macrobid is not a good respiratory tract antibiotic, so please see your doctor asap.

See MD: Chest tightness with coughing should be evaluated by an md. Cough often lingers for several weeks after a sinus infection or other upper respiratory infection.
