Hi, my husband has not been feeling well for the past 9-10 days. he has congestion in his lungs and is very tired. A week ago his temp was 101 F and a doctor gave him oral amoxicillin. He still looks sick. The symptoms have not improved. We just moved to Ohio from Arizona. He is a park ranger.

does your husband is smoker, as smoking increases lung congestion. Also is he taking treatment for heart disease. Looks like he having lung infection, i am not sure if amoxycillin is right antibiotic for it. I would recommend levofloxacin or azithromycin.
