Chest Infection

Before you begin, please consider whether you really need this consultation. Many chest infections, especially those lasting less than two weeks, may resolve on their own without requiring medical intervention such as antibiotics. Your local pharmacy may also be able to provide advice and treatments for mild symptoms.

If you feel your symptoms are persistent or worsening, or if you belong to a high-risk group (e.g., elderly, have chronic respiratory conditions like asthma or COPD), we encourage you to proceed with this eConsult.
