I have a chest infection and my doctor gave me some medication to take, can I break my fast?

If your doctor considers it to be a severe illness because of which your condition will worsen if you fast, then you should take your medication and perform a qada later. There will be no need for kaffarah. (Maraqiy al-Falah pg.258)
