<s>[INST] In March, came down with some type of cold, lost voice almost, got a bit better.  Then I got sick again, small cough, fever of around 100-101.5.  Self medicated with amoxil 500, and seemed to go away.  2 1/2 weeks later, chills, low fever 101 at highest but normally around 100.2, and cougChatDoctore back.  Strange fever - would break during night and Id wake up w/sweat like my clothes came out of washer, then around 2 or 3 p.m., fever come back with slight chills, would go to about 100 or so... then it would repeat.  This went on and off for about 10 days, and the cough started getting worse.  Over the course of May, the cough has continued.  No fever/chills now at all.  The cough has been so severe a couple of times that I did almost throw up... couldnt stop coughing.  Lying down is worse.  I dont hear any indication of crackling in chest with scope.  Bringing up light to dark yellow mucus, mostly thin, but couple mornings it was a thick blob.  No ins., will z pack fight it? [/INST] Hello rearward welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query in details .* It is definite underlying lung infection in form of bronchitis or else.* Z pack will help for sure, but I recommend getting evaluated with your family doctor for basic lab tests, x-ray chest to precisely diagnose the issue and manage perfectly. Wishing you fine recovery. Feel free to ask any further queries. Regards . </s>
