Hello,

You have developed upper respiratory tract infection and it needs to be treated with proper antibiotics. Since you are already taking Z-Pak which contains Azithromycin you should continue taking it and complete the course.
Also, take steam inhalation as it will help to relieve the congestion in your chest. You can also take an antihistamine like levocetirizine to relieve the irritation in the throat. You should get a chest x-ray done as soon as possible to rule out bronchitis as you have a history of smoking.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nazma.amman
