Suggest Treatment For Cold, Wheeziness, Cough With Yellow Phlegm, And Fever

Thanks
if feeling worse, shortness of breath or repeat wheezing
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Fever can occur with viral or bacterial infection. It is part of your body's inflammatory response to any infection.
Yellow mucus or discharge can occur with viral infections as well.
Since both of these can occur with viral infections, they would not necessarily be indicators of bacterial infection and the need for antibiotics.
If however you are feeling generally worse or there is repeated wheezing or shortness of breath, then this may mean that you need a prescription for z pak or another antibiotic.
You can also add paracetamol/tylenol to help with the fever.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
