Antibiotics for Chest Infections
When dealing with lower respiratory infections and new focal chest signs are present, it should be treated as pneumonia. In such cases, antibiotic therapy should not be delayed.
- Amoxycillin: This is a commonly prescribed antibiotic.
- Erythromycin: This is an alternative if Amoxycillin isn't suitable, for example, due to allergies.
It is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and prescription. Self-medication is not advisable.
