What Causes Severe Chest Congestion And Throat Pain?

I have severe chest congestion and throat pain. I had ibugesci plus and anti biotics(ciplox 250) for a week. It didn't improve and met a doc and he gave antibiotics amoxyllin and that also did not work, yesterday was having difficulty breathing and went a hospital and had a nebulizer and asthalin and predensinole( syteroid).

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Chest congestion, breathing difficulty etc are more suggestive of bronchitis.
So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You will need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 2 weeks.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
