Hi all, I've been laid low with a chest infection since last Saturday. I am stuck in the flat alone, off sick from work, feeling miserable and depressed. I went to the doctors yesterday and was given antibiotics. I started them yesterday and then got the runs, so I panicked, the usual fear of V***ing aswell which didn't happen. I had a bit of the runs again this morning so rang the surgery and the doctor advised me to keep off the antibiotics if they are causing my stomach to be upset and to let the virus go off its own accord. So I am keeping off them because I don't want an upset tummy, however I am wondering how long its going to take this chest infection to go. It does seem to be a bug going round, has anyone else had it and how long does it take to go?
