I've just finished a round of clarithromycin but still have this chesty, wet, persistent cough. I went back and got prescribed azithromycin for 4 days, and it seemed to helpI felt much better. But now, just two days after finishing the meds, the cough is back. Could this be just my lungs clearing stuff out? I'm also feeling really congested in my nose again. What could be going on?

I've been dealing with this cough for almost three years and recently finished a course of doxolin 400, pan 40, and montek lc. It began as a dry cough, but now, for the past month, I've been experiencing a burning sensation in the center of my chest. What could be happening? Should I be worried about this chest burn?
