A member asked:
Can you suggest how to get antibiotics from the dr for chest infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: See your doctor, and let him or her examine you. S/he can also do diagnostic tests, and prescribe antibiotics if s/he feels this is appropriate. Please understand that antibiotics are not needed for every chest cold. If your symptoms are caused by a virus rather than a bacterium, antibiotics will be ineffective.
