A doctor prescribed zithro starting with 500 mg than 250 mg a day for 5 days.

Could any alternatives do the trick for a bad cough or would you just go for the antibiotics?

I've tried basic stuff you may think of, a lot of lemon water, steam showers, etc.,. The cough still comes and goes.

Also if I take zithromax, is there anyway to reduce side effects?

Thanks
