Had i think a cold went to the doctor got a z pack felt better still have congestion and cough2 weeks after being sick. what could it be?

Viral infection: Probably you had a viral infection all along, and viruses do not respond to antibiotics. That you felt somewhat better at first probably was just a coincidence. All this probably will get better over time. But return to your doctor if you remain uncertain.
