Perhaps a cold or allergies trigger the cough that has been there for 7 days. Azithromycin 500 mg is an antibiotic that can help if your cough is a result of a bacterial infection. Nonetheless, it's important to get a pulmonologist's examination to find out the exact cause of your cough before taking medication to take precautions before it occurs again.
