Is Z-pac And Tavnic 250mg Suggested For UTI And Bronchitis?

Hello, I m 31, Female. Went to a walk in clinic last month for bronchitis. Had it since Dec. I was prescribed a Z-pac and an inhaler. Still had it, was giving another Z-pac. Got a UTI after 2nd Z-pac. Was giving Tavanic 250mg for 10 days. It was for the UTI and bronchitis. UTI is gone but I still have a persistent dry cough for 2 months now and a pain on my right side. My throat some times hurts. No x-rays have been taken. What could this be? Thanks for the help. WWW.WWWW.WW

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Persistent cough with chest pain after simple upper respiratory tract infection and bronchitis are more suggestive of lung infection.
You have taken two routine antibiotics and still not improving even after 2 months.
So we should definitely rule out lung infection (pneumonia) in your case.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray.
Chest x ray is must for the diagnosis of pneumonia.
You may need higher antibiotic and other supportive drugs for complete improvement.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
