Ronaxan is a good antibiotic for chest infections. It should always given with a little bit of food and water as it could cause gastro-oesophageal inflammation. Alternatively Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid can be used but it certainly less specific. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
