If bronchitis and whooping cough symptoms are not improving despite taking Viscodyne and Azithromycin, the treatment may need to be reassessed. A persistent cough can occur due to airway irritation, an incomplete response, or another cause. You should consult a doctor for further treatment.

If swallowing is painful after a cough and cold, your throat is likely inflamed or infected. Avoid spicy foods, drink warm fluids, and use warm salt-water gargles. If the pain continues or worsens, consult a doctor for a proper throat examination and treatment.
