Still Chesty!!

Hope everyone had a good christmas and new year, I am on my second lot of antibiotics for a chest infection which I have had for the past 3 weeks but I still have an awful chesty cough and still have a lot of phlegm on my chest, my second course of antibiotics ends on thursday so I will be going back to the doctor if no better, just wondering if anyone has any experience of this and if it is normal to still be so chesty after 2 lots of antibiotics and steroids?

Also does anyone no what the doctor might do if im still no better after the antibiotics finish? just wondering

Thanks Lejaya. Mine have been ok, apprehensive as visiting houses which are dusty/smoky after seeing cons who's not sure I have asthma & is trying to suggest reflux is in my head, reduce most meds... Anyway just wondering whereabouts in the country are you as I can remember your consultant @ atypical asthma posts before? May be best to pm me.

Back to your original question, it can take a while for infections to clear up as I have found with kidney & sinusitis & now chest still not right. Best to get your doctor to send off a sample if you cough up sputum to check antibiotics sensitivity I.e. that you're taking ones infection will respond to
