Taking Zithromax for green phlegm. It stops, but the second i smoke it comes back. Will i be safe to smoke?

The medication is a 5day antibiotic. I smoked once on the second day, and soon after i was coughin up the dark green phlegm again. Would it be safe to say everything is already gone by the time i take the last pill?

???

amsterdam = me smoking

Answer 1

Your best bet is to quit smoking. Coughing stuff out of your lungs is always bad, and the fact that it is green is a bad sign. Quitting smoking is the best answer. Though, it is probably not the answer you want.

Answer 2

Not even safe for NON smokers...

**An estimated 35,000 to 40,000 deaths from heart disease in people who are not current smokers
**About 3,000 lung cancer deaths in nonsmoking adults
**Other respiratory problems in nonsmokers, including coughing, phlegm, chest discomfort, and reduced lung function
**150,000 to 300,000 lower respiratory tract infections (such as pneumonia and bronchitis) in children younger than 18 months of age, which result in
7,500 to 15,000 hospitalizations!
**Increases in the number and severity of asthma attacks in about 200,000 to 1 million asthmatic children
**Involuntary smoking causes disease, including lung cancer, in healthy nonsmokers.
**When compared with the children of nonsmoking parents, children of parents who smoke have more frequent respiratory infections, more respiratory symptoms, and slower development of lung function as the lung matures.
**Separating smokers and nonsmokers within the same air space may reduce, but does not eliminate, the exposure of nonsmokers to secondhand smoke.

Public places: Everyone is vulnerable to secondhand smoke exposure in public places. Although some businesses are reluctant to ban smoking, there is no credible evidence that going smoke-free is bad for business. Public places where children go are a special area of concern.

Answer 3

Well gee, let's see now, I guess the sanest thing to do would be to QUIT SMOKING as it generally leads to lung cancer and emphysema, and other things worse than green phlegm. Wake up!

Answer 4

the smoking is aggravating the condition. you probably have copd anyway and will be more susceptible to infections in the future, so try to quit smoking

Answer 5

I suggest you quit smoking all together. This is your body telling you something.

Answer 6

you will probably get advanced stages of lung disease soon unless you quit smoking

Answer 7

STOP SMOKING , YOUR BODY IS TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING . ANTIBIOTICS STRENGHT IS DIMINISHED WHEN EVER YOU SMOKE OR DRINK . SO IF YOU CONTINUE TO SMOKE , OR DRINK (NOT SAYING YOU DO ) JUST FLUSH THE ANTIBIOTICS DOWN THE TOILET
