@mirsy Azithromycin, taken at a low dose, 250 per day (or 500 mg a day, if necessary), three times a week can cut back on inflammation. It worked for me. I used 250 mg for about 4-5 months. I tolerated it well. Everyone reacts differently, of course.
Hopefully it would reduce your husband’s coughing episodes. With other health issues to contend with, one’s quality of life is important to factor in as well.
