How Can Cough And Inflammation In The Upper Respiratory Tract Be Treated?

just lost everything I wrote! Will try again:Went to urgent care center today because while my flu symptoms seem to be getting better, my upper respiratory inflammation/cough hasn t improved (this is day 7). I was prescribed prednisone and z-pac and am not sure if I should start taking meds tonight or wait until tomorrow (instructions that came with prednisone say if only taking one dose a day should take before 9 am.
