Keep taking Ciprofloxacin and add Claritin at night by mouth too. It will avoid irritation of the throat and deeper airways.
Your physician did very well. If I was your physician and you had the issues like this I must have changed the script to Losartan-HCTZ 50-12.5mg. You will feel better and yes its safety profile is much higher than Lisinopril. You will feel better.
