Question : In May, I had mild symptoms of a sinus infection. It steadily got worse with chest congestion. No bloody mucus. Chest congestion was clear to white, sinus congestion was brown, yellow. I did feel feverish on several occasions, but no chills. I was first diagnosed with allergies, then bronchitis (Amoxicillin), then was told it was viral and antibiotics would do no good, so was put on prednisone. It is now June, and I am worse, sometimes a bit better. I have had the pneumonia shot. Should I tough it out tonight, then visit the ER tomorrow?

Brief Answer:
Asthmatic attack, go to ER

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

If you are taking prednisone and took also antibiotics and still you aren't getting better maybe you are suffering an asthmatic attack so you should go to ER.

Take care.
