What antibiotics should i take for head and chest congestion?

Answer 1

A chest cold is a VIRUS so u cant treat it with antibiotics. If you do, any other bacterior in ur body will become imune to them and they will become 'Superbugs' which are almost impossible to treat. There are antiVIRALS which can help but chances are they wont cos viruses are constantly evolving and it wont help.

Answer 2
