What Causes Persistent Cough And Chest Pain Despite Taking Z Pack?

I was diagnosed with Bronchitis 5 weeks ago. I was given a Z pac, 3 weeks ago. It improved greatly, but I still had a lingering cough. It got worse recently, and I stated getting chest pain and a cough, and my throat and tongue also feel irritated. I developed thrush, which seems to have went away with a bottle of Nistatin. But, my tongue and throat feel irritated. So, now my throat still hurts, and I get coughing spells. A very dry, whooping sound cough. If I expel energy, I can feel exhausted. I also get a tightness in my chest. I cough, and it is dry. Besides seeing a HCP, what do you think I should do? Could it still be the residual effects of bronchitis? Or do you think I have mycoplasma pneumonia?
