Any alternative to antibiotics?

[PanicPants]

I'm back on antibiotics for yet another chest infection. I had one end july/august and spent 3 solid weeks on antibiotics and 2 separate steriod tablet courses.

I've yet to start the antibiotics today (Dp gone to pick them up)but I'm weary about being back on them so soon.

So any natural alternatives?

TIA

Thank you sKerrymum.

Hi sKerryMum Sorry for delay as I've been in bed for most of the last 2 days!

I have asthma but don't smoke. And the chest infections are nearly always derived from a cold. It seems that nowadays every cold I catch ends up going onto my chest. This is my 4th one this year. The last one I had was the worst I just never thought I was ever going to get better again.
