Hi,

There is no need to worry you are recovering from upper respiratory tract infection due to viruses which could have been complicated by bacterial infection. Take plenty of fluids, saline gargle, multivitamins supplements, avoid allergic food.Take protein rich balanced diet with multivitamins. You will recover in some days. If symptoms deteriorate visit pulmonologist for proper evaluation and work up.

Take care.
