What can i do to take care of and remedy a chest infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on DX: Depending on the dx, the cure may be simple rest, and fluids with supportive decongestants and/or cold medications, or if it is bacterial in nature, you may need an antibiotic to eradicate the infection. Seek medical care and get properly DX for the best cure. Best wishes to you.
