Persistent Cough After Antibiotics and Cough Syrup _Concerns and Next Steps_ 1. _Incomplete treatment_: Azithromycin is typically prescribed for 5-7 days.

If they worsen, spread, or become severely itchy, seek medical attention. 3. *Contact the plasma donation center*: Reach out to the plasma donation center where you donated and inform them about the reaction. They may be able to provide guidance or offer to cover medical expenses related to the reaction. *When to Seek Medical Attention* If you experience any of the following, seek medical attention: 1. *Severe symptoms*: If the rash, itching, or bumps become severe, or if you experience difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, or dizziness. 2. *Infection signs*: If you notice signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or pus. 3. *Worsening symptoms*: If your symptoms worsen or don't improve with self-care.
