Take your Chinese medicine to the Dr that prescribed the anti-biotics. Some herbs can make anti-biotics ineffective, some can have nasty effects when mixed. Remember, just because it's an herb doesn't mean its safe. Herbs were used as drugs for centuries, many have medicinal qualities.

It depends on the herbs in question. Some herbs and western medicines can combine to make some very bad reactions. Your doctor could tell you better, if he knows the medicines in question.

Good luck!
