My husband has sore throat chest congestion coughing and nasal congestion does he need antibiotics?

Depends: often times it's a viral infection that won't need an antibiotic,saline nasal wash, salt water gargles, rest and fluids would be enough, but that doesn't help in a day or two, he needs to see his doctor
