HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this is could be allergic condition and here antibiotic does not have any role, if this associated with hyperacidity then this need to be first treated to reduce the symptoms, viral infection is very less likely, bronchodilator, and steroid would be helpful here, for steroid you need to be qualified (Your basic information is missing here age and gender ) according to age and gender treatment being suggested, take care.
