Can a pharmacist prescribe antibiotics for my cough and congestion without me needing to see a doctor?

It is not recommended for a pharmacist to prescribe antibiotics for a cough and congestion without consulting a doctor. To treat these conditions, it is best to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, over-the-counter medications like Tylenol or Advil and nasal decongestants can help alleviate symptoms. Nasal hygiene with saline solutions can also provide relief. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical advice.
