Brief Answer:
It is a good treatment plan.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I have reviewed your past and present information and understand you are being treated for a chest infection. This plan is good as infections are initially treated from clinical exams is the doctor thinks he gathered enough information to do so. However, if the treatment fails to offer marked improvement, then further testing is needed by the end of it to see if there is any other disease condition that is being missed. I will advise you to take your medications as prescribed and further action (possibly and X-ray) would be taken depending on your response to this ongoing treatment.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Keep me updated with your progress. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
