I agree 100%.
I was NOT given z-pack initially. I developed a cough which eventually resulted in green stuff being coughed up. Only then was I given the antibiotic.
It knocked it out, but over a week passed and now it's back. And the blood oxygen levels are dropping all over again. Shortness of breath is starting to present itself.
I am not a doctor, but I'm wondering if I had been given the Z-pack at the start if I would be where I'm at presently.
C3C7 might have an opinion to share on this topic.
