<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hi I have a chest infection and yesterday morning I received antibiotics and a ventalin inhaler from my doctor and was told it should be pretty much gone by tomorrow morning which is in about 14 hours but I still feel the same as yesterday maybe more lightheaded and the pain in my chest has moved to my stomachsides, although I am able to talk a bit more without getting short breathed, but as soon as I move I am out of breathe. Should I go back in to the doctor or will it just take another day? I am supposed to be going back to work tomorrow but I don t want to risk it if this is only going to get worse. Thanks  <response>: Respected user, HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor.come have gone through your concern in depth. Recovery of chest infection depends upon the type of infection, virulence of causative organisms, host factors with type of treatment and associated co morbid conditions. Suggestions for better outcome - Have patience, it will take time to recover, may take days, do not count hrs No need to rush in ER .- Regularly do deep breathing exercises, YOGA which will help you tremendously.- Avoid exposure to excess cold, dusty environments.- Continue current medications, balanced nutritious diet with plenty of liquids.- Avoid smoking, alcohol.- Prefer semi reclining position when doing rest. Hope this will help you for sure. Welcome for any further guidance. Regards dear.
