I had severe flu like symptoms (fever, body aches, bronchial congestion). My doctor prescribed zythromycin as a precaution since my son currently had pneumonia. Within a day of starting the 5 day dosage, I started having severe skin sensitivity. No other way to describe it but a bad sunburn over my body. It hurt just to have clothes touch my skin. Not sure if it was from the Zpak (my doctor didn't think so) but it sure seemed coincidental if not. Pain lastest for days even after going off meds.

Ok.. I know I just posted 2 days ago but tonight will be the last pill I take (day 5). It was prescribed to me by an ER doctor for bronchitis. Well.. I still have pretty good congestion.. not near as bad when I went to the doctor so I am getting better. So far so good and no side effects. I'm starting to freak out a little because of all these reviews! I'm crossing my fingers none will come my way. All meds effect people differently.. besides being outside for only 10 minutes and getting a sunburn on my face.. (this stuff makes you sensitive to sunlight) its done me well and I would recommend it!
