A member asked:

Hi i'm asthmatic and i've had 2 courses of antibiotics, amoxicillin and doxycycline plus 2 x steroids. my chest is really tight and im still wheezing ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Antibiotics: Do not treat asthma. Asthma is treated depending on severity with bronchodilators and inhaled steroids. You should have pulmonary function testing done to verify your diagnosis, with repeat PFTs after albuterol.
