Suggest Treatment For Upper Respiratory Tract Infection
I was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and on a z-PAC and 4x a day ventolin for 2 days and chest rattling seems worse. My temp is at 99-99.5 and usually runs at 97.3. I feel very light headed when I walk and cough. I also black out for a few seconds when I take my inhaler. Should I go back to the dr or wait?

Hello,
Thanks for the concern. You have upper respiratory tract infection and had azithromycin antibiotic with ventolin (bronchodilator) for 2 days. Still you have fever and cough. So for that you can take hot steam twice daily, avoid cold foods and cold drinks, continue ventolin and start antibiotic like combination of amoxicillin(500mg) and clavulanate potassium(125mg) twice daily for 7 days.
So you should immediately consult the treating physician get investigated and start treatment accordingly. Hope you might get help.
Take care
