Suggest Medication For Sore Throat, Cough & Exhaustion
Hello,
I have been sick for 2 weeks. It began with a sore throat, coughing, and exhaustion. I was coughing up green phlegm. By day 4 of feeling like this I took a z-pak (my mom had an extra prescription that she let me use). I felt improved after the antibiotic (sore throat disappeared, was only coughing up yellow phlegm for a few days). Unfortunately, the sore throat and exhaustion are back. Should I be concerned? I am avoiding going to the doctor because I am broke and have no health insurance. Thank you.
