I have had a bad cough for a week now. My symptoms were getting worst everyday.. fever, runny nose, lungs full of fluid, itch that I had in my lungs that I couldn t scratch and my mucus ranged between yellow to green the doctor I went to said it was respiratory infection and prescribe me amoxicillin but I feel it is pneumonia I still have a terrible cough on a ten day prescription.. Did they prescribe me right??
Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that you should think of doing sputum Grams staining and culture sensitivity. Take treatment according to sensitivity. Amoxicillin is resistant to routinely find organisms causing respiratory tract infection. I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious disease specialist. Wish you the best health at Chat Doctor.
