Suggest Treatment For Chest Infection

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 stomach/sides, 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

Respected user , Hi

Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I 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 .
