Respected user , Hi
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .
* Breathing difficulty is in relation with bronchospasm through the irritation
* Need additional management of cough along with azithromycin as
- Decongestants to clear the mucus .
- Bronchodilators to open up the contracted airways .
Hope this clears your query .
Welcome for further assistance .
