Hi,
COPD patients may get aggravation if breathlessness in case of infection.
You may take inhalers medication still more days if not improved.
Check for pulmonary function tests, complete blood picture, cardiac function status.
Avoid smoking and alcohol intake.
Continue antibiotics, use tablet Pregabalin. If the pain in the legs not improved please consult your neuro physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
