Question 2

I'm curious about something that's been on my mind. I've had a pattern of catching a cold and fever twice every year, usually when the seasons change, like when winter starts and ends. My doctor always prescribed Azithromycin for it. The funny thing is, during the first year of the pandemic, I didn't get sick at all, but this year, I got the usual cold again.

Now I'm wondering if it might be COVID instead of a regular cold since Azithromycin is still used for COVID treatments. Why are doctors now hesitant to prescribe Azithromycin without a COVID test done first? Is there a risk that I could build resistance to it, and it may not work if I really get COVID later, even though I've always completed my courses? I'm just trying to figure out if taking Azithromycin twice a year when I have a cold and fever is okay. Back in the day, my doctor didn't think twice about prescribing it. Why has the protocol changed?

He was 78 kg, but now has reduced a bit over the last few months. The chest CT scan results and AFB test both came back negative. Can you help me understand what might be causing these symptoms?
