Brief Answer:
Stay on Macrodantin...Insufficient information to conclude about infection!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry so sorry to hear about this chest pain and the phlegm you have reported. I have reviewed this information fully and it is not suggestive of a lung information. Lung infections in addition to chest pain would cause berthing difficulties and fever. This is absent and I would rather prefer you monitor and report any other concerning symptoms to me for further review and insights.

Macrodantin is specifically for urinary infections and cannot treat lung infections. Though you are advised to remain on it, should we confirm an information, we would need to obtain a script from your doctor to treat any possible infection.

I hope this helps. If you have any further unanswered concerns, feel free to request for clarifications and more information.
