Infection without cough or fever?
Is it possible to have a
chest
infection
without a cough or fever? I've just gotten over a cold (2nd one in a month) and again my asthma is flaring but I also feel uncomfortable/pain in the back of my lungs. I don't have a cough, but if I do, it's dry and kind of squeaks. 🤷🏻♀️

chest
seems fine now) and 40mg prednisolone for 5 days which I started a bit later and last dose was morning of Boxing Day.

Antibiotics
I have a
chest
infection
Klebsiella and have been prescribed the two antibiotics, however, I'm feeling quite unwell, shivery and then hot and not sleeping and wondered if anyone else has had these side effects? It could be a combination of infection and meds? Thank you for any replies.

Pneumonia and collapsed lung after catching the ‘100 day cough’
The cough turned into a
chest
infection
, then a turn for the worse, I was rushed into hospital unable to breath and give oxygen. After a chest X-ray, I was treated for Pneumonia and collapsed lung, spent 12 days on oxygen and was eventually discharged 2 weeks later.

Help with frequent chest infection
Every time I go away I end up with antibiotics for
chest

Chest Infection and Adrenal Insufficiency
So, I've had multiple hospital attendances recently due to this
Chest
Infection
. Was put on antibiotics, but had an Asthma Exacerbation anyway so attended again as home nebulisers weren't enough. So asked if I should add Prednisolone on top of my Hydrocortisone. No one knows the answer.

Methotrexate and infections
I have recently picked up a throat/
chest
infection
and am coughing madly. Should I take this week's dose of methotrexate or leave it ? If leave it, for how long?
