Is Levaquin Advisable For Persistent Cough While Having Laryngitis And Bronchitis?

I had an xray done today for a cough that has lasted for 6+ weeks. I was diagnosed with laryngitis and bronchitis after no illness on December 26th. Cough has persisted, short of breath, wheezing and taste of blood in mouth.I am an ex smoker who smoked for 21 years and quit 7 years ago.I grew up in a house of 2nd hand smoke.I am nervous of what my xray may find.Dr put me on Levaquin now too.
