A member asked:
Do i need an antibiotic for a cough that burns my chest?

Maybe: The only way to really find out is to be seen by the doctor and be examined. You may also need a chest x-ray to see if it is consistent with a pneumonia. A cough does not always mean a bacterial infection that needs antibiotic therapy.
