Would I need to see a doctor for antibiotics or can a pharmacist prescribe me something?

Question

Good evening, I have had a dry cough for about 4-5 days, no fever and no fly. I take Tylenols at 4 o'clock and symbicort because I am asthmatic. I have no difficulty breathing, no pain. Today I cough much less than the last 2 days. My nose is not blocked and does not run.

Hello, ma'am, Since the situation arose, has it improved or subsided? You mention not blowing your nose, do you have a blocked or runny nose, even a little? Thanks for the feedback! In this case, Symbicort remains your best treatment and I encourage you to drink plenty of fluids, cold or hot, as you prefer. If the situation persists for more than 7 days without improvement or worsens, you should consult a doctor as a precaution. I will remain available if you have any further questions! Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
