I been have a really bad cough and bad chest congestion and its making my chest tight ?

Doctor can examine: If one's primary care doctor suspects bacterial bronchitis or pneumonia, an oral antibiotic will likely be prescribed. Sometimes asthma meds such as albuterol inhalers and anti-inflammatories like corticosteroids are also needed. If doing well on treatment, a mild residual cough can be around for a 2-3 weeks, but one should be much improved after the first 2 days. For bad symptoms, the ER helps.
