Hi, i have developed a phlegmy painful chest, from being caught in cold rainy weather. i went to a pharmacy was prescribed an antihistamine to ease the post nasal drip and cough syrup just in case i start coughing. today i need an antibiotic ?

Virtual consult: A virtual consult is available. If the phlegm is yellow or green, bacterial bronchitis may be considered. Most bronchitic infections though are viral and do not require antibiotics.
