[|Human|] I have asthma, copd and emphysema. I quit smoking six months ago and use electronic cigarette. I am 56 yrs old. Up until last week, no problems. Now wheezing and taste rust or metal when coughing. I called my Dr and they put me on a Z pack without seeing me  I dont feel like I must cough, but I wheeze and taste rust when clearing my throat ( or cough). No fever but very sleepy. Help
[|AI|]  Hi, thank you for posting. I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns. Z-pack is an antibiotic medication, and it is used in such cases. But to give a good effect it must be used along with Sere tide inhaler and Aspiring Protect 100 mg. You should use Z-pack only for 10 days. Sere tide inhaler and Aspiring Protect 100 mg are used for a long time. By using this combination your symptoms are going to subside. Contact your doctor to discuss this treatment. I hope my answer is helpful. Wish you good health.
