Suggest Medication For Cough And Cold After Undergoing Chemoteraphy For Breastcancer

Hi, I am currently undergoing chemo for breast cancer (AC) my last dose was 8 days ago. I came down with a cold 2 days ago. Today I coughed up yellow phlem, just one incident so far. I am worried about infection? I have a perscription for anti biotics if it does become a infection but how do I really know. I don't want to take to antibiotics unless I really need to. Thanks

Jane
