Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.
I have gone through your query and it looks like a respiratory infection. Respiratory problems are mostly diagnosed clinically and hence a clinical examination is mandatory to rule out other causes and come to a proper diagnosis. So i would suggest consultation with a physician or a chest specialist. He/she would be able to give specific management. Also a chest Xray PA view is advised.
If such a patient came to me, with specific treatment, I would also suggest bed rest, warm saline water gargle, paracetamol tablets for fever and chill, continuation of inhalers and other daily medicines. A mucolytic cough syrup can also be given if there is significant cough.
Hope this was useful.
Regards.
