Hi welcome to HCM...

According to history here you can have bacterial infection in form of bronchitis or pneumonia like infection....

Consult pulmonologist without delay...
Your auscultation and blood pressure checking also needs to be done ...

Chest x ray then done to rule out cause..
If bronchitis there spirometry also done to detect severity...

Then treatment needed with cefpodoxime 200 mg tablet or levofloxacin like antibiotic for 7 days...

Healthy and balanced diet taken..

Avoid smoking if habit.

Then if needed for further work up sputum cytology can be done .

Take care

Hope your concern solved
