Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.


I see similar cases among st young people who visit my clinic. I would like to ask you few more details.


Is it associated with fever or wheeze ? Is there any breathlessness ?


As per your details, it looks like infective one. you require antibiotics, depending on the examination finding. I suggest you to to consult ENT surgeon and get detailed ent and respiratory system examination (infective source could be from sinuses or throat). If necessary x ray chest and blood tests (this can be decided by your treating doctor).

Wishing you good health.
