A member asked:
Can the zpack help an upper respiratory infection with someone with asthma? or do i have to let it run its course?

Depends: if this was truly a bacterial infection, which most are not, it might help. If not it's just a waste of time/money/med that will have whatever side effects you are otherwise prone to.

May require additional days'dose until symptoms disappear before stopping Azithromycin. I infection not over, I ask pulmonologist to prescribe Levofloxacin. Feel better
