What antibiotics should i take to reduce my chest infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask your doctor: Proper antibiotic selection & use requires a history be taken, an exam & possibly x-rays. If your condition is not worrisome enough to seek such a consultation it is not one that requires antibiotics. Random use of a little here & a little there saved from some prior illness is neither smart or effective. Failure to complete a prescribed course of meds contributes to the emergance of superbugs.
