<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hello,I have been sick for 2 weeks. It began with a sore throat, coughing, and exhaustion. I was coughing up green phlegm. By day 4 of feeling like this I took a z-pak my mom had an extra prescription that she let me use. I felt improved after the antibiotic sore throat disappeared, was only coughing up yellow phlegm for a few days. Unfortunately, the sore throat and exhaustion are back. Should I be concerned? I am avoiding going to the doctor because I am broke and have no health insurance. Thank you.  <response>: Hello rearward welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query in details .
