Who you’ll see in Beaconsfield
About chest infection
Seeing a GP in Beaconsfield means having your chest listened to and your history reviewed, by video or in clinic, so the likely cause — viral or bacterial — can be identified. Get checked sooner if you have a cough lasting more than 3 weeks, a high fever that won't settle, coughing up blood or rust-coloured mucus, or breathlessness at rest. Where a bacterial infection is likely, antibiotics are arranged with your pharmacy. Full detail is on our national page at /conditions/chest-infection/.
About chest infections
An infection of the lungs or airways, a chest infection can be either viral or bacterial. It usually shows up as a lingering cough (sometimes with phlegm), fever, breathlessness, wheezing and chest pain on breathing or coughing. Most cases are viral and resolve on their own in a few weeks, with bacterial cases occasionally needing antibiotic treatment.
