I had a cold which seems to have fully shifted. after a couple of days of it shifting, I started coughing really dark yellow/brown-ish stuff up. mentioned it to a nurse (I was in hospital for something unrelated to my asthma) and she spoke to a doctor & I was eventually discharged with antibiotics which supposedly would cover the reason I was in hospital + my chest infection. I finish my antibiotics tomorrow night and I'm still coughing stuff up, making myself retch with coughing and my breathing still feels ""rattly"", more so when I breathe. I'm also using a lot more salbutamol than I usually do.
should I see my GP or wait a few more days to see if it fully shifts on its own?
I'd suggest you see your go, antibiotics only work on certain bugs, and maybe the antibiotics you were on weren't suitable, alternatively it might be viral, in which case antibiotics won't work, either way I'd see your gp and they can make a decision.
