default
Posted on Tue, 23 Jul 2019
Question: HI Doctor, I have been seen in ER for Mycoplasma (my entire office seem to be infected). The doctors said my XRAY came out clear! I'm on Zithromax- How long does it take for this to start working I started yesterday around 4pm. My mocus was dark yellow now it's clear or very light yellow! Does this means it's turning into pneumonia? why am I so weak? Thanks

Brief Answer:
It will work immediately.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
Zithromax is having azithromycin.
It is broad spectrum antibiotic.
It starts its action immediately after taking.
So you got immediate effect of this antibiotic.
And your mucus color is improving, so no need to worry for pneumonia.
This mucus color change is sign of improvement. So don't worry about pneumonia.
You are also having having normal chest x ray. So pneumonia is out of the question.
Weakness is mostly due to infection.
Try to drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
