I'm really struggling with a severe cough and congestion, especially at night. It's gotten to the point where I'm coughing so much that I can't sleep. I've heard that Azithromycin tablets might help with this, but I'm not sure. Is Azithromycin a good option for these symptoms, or should I be looking into something else?

I've been dealing with this constant cough and breathing issues for a few days now, even though I'm on a daily dose of Symbicort for my bronchitis asthma. I'm starting to get really worried because I'm not sure what else I can do. Can you recommend a good pulmonologist I could see, or suggest any other steps I might take to help manage this? It's been pretty stressful not knowing how to handle it.
