Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
You seem to be suffering from Lower Respiratory tract infection.
You should get following investigations done:
1. Chest Xray PA
2. Hemogram with ESR
3. Sputum for gram stain.
Till the reports are available discuss with your doctor to start you on broad spectrum antibiotic like Augmentin.
You can take cough syrup like Benadryl for symptomatic relief.
This is my personal opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy
Dr Anshul Varshney, MD
