I've just finished a round of clarithromycin but still have this chesty, wet, persistent cough. I went back and got prescribed azithromycin for 4 days, and it seemed to helpI felt much better. But now, just two days after finishing the meds, the cough is back. Could this be just my lungs clearing stuff out? I'm also feeling really congested in my nose again. What could be going on?

What does it mean if right pleural thickening shows up in medical tests, like during GCC medicals? I had an x-ray done on my own, and the radiologist didn't see an issue, but another one mentioned I could go for more scans although they didn't expect anything serious to turn up. What could be causing this, and is it something that can be fully treated?

Pleural thickening is common and is due previos infection.if you have no symptoms you can completely ignore it will self heal

I've been having some trouble lately and really need some advice. I'm 32 and have asthma, so I regularly use an inhaler. For the past few days, I've had a bad cough and cold. It feels like there's phlegm stuck in my chest, but no matter how much I cough, it won't come out. I tried taking Azithromycin, but it didn't help. Can you suggest any medicines that might work better? Also, I've been getting these sudden pains in my neck. I'm currently on pregabalin, nortriptyline, and myospas for it. Any ideas on what's going on or how I can feel better?

take tab mucinac for 3 days
