A member asked:
2 weeks of crackling/phlegm in lungs, which followed a week of sore throat before that. i feel fine & can breathe fine however. do i need antibiotics?

Probably not: However, you want to visit your lung specialist to check why this happened at your young age. A thorough history and physical examination is very useful. Your lung doc can check if you need additional examinations such as pulmonary function testing, CXR, CT or other "stuff". There is no need to wait. And good luck Hopefully it will all turn well.
