What Causes Chest Infection And Coughing?

hi i have been unwell for a week now with constantly coughting , and coughting up green and yellow stuff,
i have seen a doctor and have been on antibodies then i was vomiting straight up my food and diaharra I saw another doctor the doctor said it could be the antibodies making me vomit and diaharra and changed the antibodies he said I have a chest infection.To use a steamer , cought mix and rest.
I just looked at pheumonia site i have the coughting, pain in the chest walls ,the pain is reducing and the fluid i feel in they isnt as bad, its a very chesty cought , it keeps me awake and cant sleep as i start coughting.
i had a fever the doctor said I havent had the chills.Just wondering if it could be this and if antibodies will clear it up.
Also last year I dated a man who had bad case of bronchis he couldnt get rid of I didnt show any signs of bronchitis then was three months ago.
I feel Im improving slowly but still vomiting, coughting alot and starting to lose my voice due to coughting so much.

Hello
Thanks for your question, I will definitely help you in best possible way
Looking at your detailed description this could be related to respiratory tract infection
I would like further information to help you better
Your age and relevant medical history
since how long you have this problem?

If I were your treating doctor I would have advised for a battery of tests like blood for hemoglobin,CBC, ESR, liver and kidney function test and an X are chest

You may require a course of antibiotics preferably penicillin group of drugs if you are not allergic to this.
You should do gargling with warm saline water or antiseptic mouth wash
cough syrup with anti acidity and anti emetic drugs are required for symptomatic relief

Hope this answers your question

wish you good health and speedy recovery.
