Family Medicine: You have a primary care medical problem. You did not have an emergency. You should see your family doctor for an examination and antibiotics.

Several things: Your illness may be due to a virus (which does not need antibiotic) or bacteria (which is treated with antibiotics). You will need to be seen by a doctor who will examine you and, based on the examination, may prescribe the appropriate treatment.
