Probably OK, but...: I agree you may not need an antibiotic and likely getting better on your own. Antibiotics are usually given for bronchitis (most "chest infections"), but usually symptoms would clear up on their own, without treatment. Many are viral and not bacterial infections; and even the bacterial ones often clear rapidly without treatment. But there are exceptions. To be safe, discuss w/ your doctor.
