Brief Answer:
What was the name of the drug?

Detailed Answer:
HI,

Please, report the name of the drug to us. Antibiotics are indispensable if the infections is caused by a bacteria. The best approach is to let the doctor know that you cannot tolerate the drug. This way, he will replace it with another medication. There are always many available options. For now, you can take Tylenol for relief but that alone will not cure the lung infection. Best way forward is asking your doctor to change the prescribed medication.

Best wishes and keep me updated.
