Pocket : If your symptoms brought you to the doctor you probably need a cough suppressant and expectorant and you can pocket the prescription and take it if you develop fever. Many chest colds are caused by viruses but cannot be differentiated from bacterial bronchitis by sputum color. Sputum culture gram stain not helpful. EmpiricZpack can protect from bacterial superinfection and reduce symptom duration
