Brief Answer:
Antibiotic therapy is mandatory
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. The best approach and most important one would be antibiotic therapy, and so it would be best to visit a doctor for a prescription but the medications used for best results would be:
+Metronidazole 500 mg one tablet twice a day for 7-14 days
+Trimethoprim(80 mg) and sulfamethoxazole (400 mg) combination
I would recommend a visit to your doctor for a prescription as this would be best in your interest. Please also feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.
Best wishes.

Thank you for your advice.
It feels like something is "eating my insides"
All down through my whole body.
I was told to take: herbal medicnes:
hummus
vitimian C Ester
Magnesium
Milk Thistle
Cayenne Pepper
Vitimian B Complex
Zinc
Saw Palmetto
Live yogurt
I have previously been on antibotics for chest, and had an xray on my chest which showed up lower loab of lung had an infection.
But I am still complaining of the same problem.
Would I definatly need antibotics to clear it up. Would they work?

Brief Answer:
Yes sir, you will, please do initiate them
Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.
Yes sir, most definitely. Even more because of the infection being in the lung tissue, as the lung tissue is one such tissue that not only takes a long time to heal, but can also result in scar formation (in the lungs once healing takes place, not always, but possible), and also does not self-resolve any infections.
Please do consider the antibiotics and initiate them at the earliest. Please do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
