do i need a new antibiotic?

Question:

my dr prescribed augmentin 875 mg for my sinus infection on Saturday. I do feel somewhat better. I can breath better. I still have sinus pressure & congestion. today i started coughing & having burning sensation in my chest when i breathe( i have asthma & i do not smoke). so i think i'm starting with bronchitis. Will the augmentin help this too or should I call the doctor to change the antibiotic?

Answers:
I would recommend you call your doctor. With you having asthma, you may be developing bronchitis. Your doctor would be the best person to answer this, but continue taking the augmentin until you her from your doctor. The weather changes and all could very well throw you into bronchitis or even pneumonia. Don't take chances, call your doctor tomorrow.

augmentin is a very strong antibiotic....
he probably gave you that because you have resistance to others
if u started ur treatment on Saturday you must keep it for 5 days...if things aren't better on Wednesday call a doctor

I would continue with the full doseage of the antibiotic unless yuo are having trouble breathing then I would definately see the Dr
