Answer:
|
|
|
| It's not wise to get antibiotics over the counter - ) the one you get may not be the most appropriate for you b) the one you get may not be most appropriate for your problem and c) most importantly, your self-diagnosis may not be correct; you're best advised to see your doctor today and as well as a history being taken, have your chest listened to / examined so that the diagnosis can be made with certainty. Bronchitis can turn to pneumonia in some people / if not appropriately treated.
