Suggest Medication For Chest Infection And Cough

I am 46 - 6 foot 2 and approximate 15 stone. I am usually very healthy but have been suffering badly with a chest infection since the beginning of December 2010. I returned to the doctors yesterday and was prescribed a 3 day course of Azithromycin. My cough has worsened causing me to suffer a bad headache. Can I take paracetmol as well as 1 x 500mg tablet each day? I am due to see a specialist at the hospital on May 23rd.

Hello and welcome in HCM

I can understand your concern

Yes you can use paracetamol safely.

You should do a chest X Ray, a hemogram and CRP and after to decide about which treatment is best for you.

I wish a fast recovery for you
