Have Flu Symptoms. Prescribed Antibiotics. Have Pain Between Shoulders And Chest. Taking Flixotide And Ventolin For Asthma.

Hi I have had flu like symptoms for six days. I attended my GP on Friday and he said that I had a wheezy chest and gave me antibiotics. I have pain and a burning sensation between my shoulder blades and my chest is painful and generally don't feel any better. I have been quite clammy and have had a persistent productive cough and can only sleep sat upright. I have asthma (although not severe) and have Flixotide and Ventolin inhalers. When I breath in my chest wheezes. Should I wait until I have finished my antibiotics to seek further medical advice?

wait for a while as the symptoms are suggestive of asthma and this might be an exacerbation so take antibiotics you may improve after few days .
