Chst infctin for 1 mnth. had steroids 3x antibiotics. now doxycycline (helping)- 2 tabs left. still sob, chest pain and white phlegm. what now?

continue as planned: First finish all your meds. Having clear or white phlegm is a positive sign. It may take some time for the shortness of breath to get better. As long as you're improving every day you will eventually feel better.
