had a chest infection a couple of weeks ago, woke up one morning, congested with rust colored phlegm, and a little blood (from violent coughing).  the doc gave me amoxicillan, it seems to have cleared the chest (still have a little bit of sputum coming up, mainly in the morning).  but the real problem is I wake up through-out the night
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor... According to your presentation doctor has given you right treatment with antibiotic Chat Doctor. ...(bronchitis treatment)But still you are having rapid breathing, sweating like complaint, so I want to rule out pneumonitis like infection .... Investigate with digital chest x-ray ....to look for consolidation....Then if needed sputum send for cytological examination by gram stain and AFB stain... Sputum culture also done only if required. Take Ben
