upper respiratory tract infection
"I had this in the past with very little success for upper respiratory infections, but for some reason, still seems to be the go-to script for my PCP.  Once again, I started with the flu (fever for 3 days), and it progressed to severe sinus congestion and a cough where I sounded like I was coughing up my lungs.  Got this prescribed for me and after 4 1/2 days on it with very minimal relief of the sinus congestion and next to no relief for the coughing, I called PCP back (as instructed) to let them know I was not improving.  They indicated that no other antibiotics were indicated and that the z-pack works for 10 days after you take the last pill.  So, I'm still sitting at home, clenching my chest and hoping that something soon gives!"
