severe coughing and bronchospasms / flu medicine (connection?)?

Question

I currently have the flu with mild pneumonia and the doctor put me on Tamiflu (an anti-flu agent), Zithromax (an antibiotic), and Histinex (a decongestant/antihistamine/narcotic cough suppressant syrup). Ever since I started on this regimen, I have bad bronchospasms (with spasmodic coughing to the point of hiccups). This has never happened to me before, and does not feel related to my illness. I've ruled out Zithromax because I've taken it before with no problems. But it seems as soon as I take the Tamiflu, here come the bad bronchospasms. The cough syrup does not help with the coughing and, in fact, makes the bronchospasms worse, if anything. I remember the doctor had asked me if I had asthma (which I don't have a history of at all). Does this sound like a reaction to my medication?

Additional details:
1. I got flu shot on Oct. 23.
2. Later in a.m., I will be speaking w/my pharmacist (over 30 yrs' experience)

I now can't sleep at all because of this.

Answer 1

That combination makes absolutely no sense. The flu is caused by a virus, an antibiotic isn't going to help you. For pneumonia, some are caused by virus and some by bacteria. Z-pak is a preferred antibiotic for some forms of bacterial pneumonia. Tamiflu doesn't work that well. If you take it within one day of onset of symptoms, it'll shorten flu's duration by one day. Also, if you got a flu shot, it should be working by now.
Tamiflu can have a less common side effect of bronchitis. Bronchitis can present in a fashion similar to asthma. The only way to regularly distinguish between the two is by taking a history.

attempt making lemon tea and upload some honey in it. perhaps you have chose anti-biotics regardless of in case you do no longer elect pills as no remember if it relatively is prolonged it perhaps a respiration an infection and require medical interest.
