    I’ve had a cough for two weeks. 😷 When do coughs need antibiotics?

    How do I know if my cough needs antibiotics?

    Good questions

    Cause Treatment
    Viral 🤧 Most common, antibiotics don’t help
    Bacterial 🦠 Less common, may need antibiotics
    Duration ⏳ Persistent past weeks needs review
    Red flags ⚠️ Fever, blood, breathlessness
    • Ask your doctor the cause
    • Don’t demand antibiotics
    • Complete the course if prescribed

    How did your cough turn out? 🤒
