Azithromycin also called z-pak if Im not mistaken and I are best friends lol. I get it all the time when I have bronchitis. Its safe but you neex to eat something before taking it to avoid the side effects that you're getting.

I had to take it when I was 13 weeks or so.. It is one of the antibiotics that can be taken with pregnancy.. I looked it up..

My doctor wont treat a bacterial infection until 12 weeks Bc he doesn't feel its safe in the first trimester so he waited to treat mine that was found in my 8th week when I turned 12 weeks this week.
