Hi.
Read and understood that you are 80 years old and taking lisinopril for hypertension.
Consulted the Doctor for coughing and sneezing, gave Cefadroxyl 500 out of which you took for 4 dosages and discontinued as there is no fever and you are feeling tired.
I think if the Doctor gives a course one should complete and see the Doctor in case any problem and not to take decisions on your own unless there is a severe reaction.
I find this answer helpful
