"I took the Z-Pak, 2 at first, then 1 a day for four days. Very little side effects, but once I stopped, I had severe diarrhea, then got a dry cough. Then just 2 days off this medication, like I said above, severe cough. I coughed so much that my sputum looked like old blood, it scared me. But I do have post-nasal drip constantly even now, so it could be from that. Hope this helps."

For Bacterial Infection "Had the flu and then bronchitis - nasty stuff... lungs burning, dry hacking cough, fever and chills, wheezing. This is day one, but last year it cleared me right up. Flu shot next winter for sure!"
