Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of dry cough and breathlessness, symptoms you mentioned in query are pointing towards condition known as severe upper respiratory tract infection. You may have lung infection or bronchitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist without any delay. Avoid intake of outside food. Mast cell stabilizers such as sodium cromoglycate is effective to prevent infection. Doctor may order blood test , throat swab test or virus culture test. You should get an x ray of the chest and Immunoglobulin G levels checked for further treatment. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics ( amoxicillin or penicillin ) at least for 10 days along with decongestants and mucolytic agents . Magnacef and Flumed DM is also a right combination of mediations. For now do warm saline rinses , take rest. You should avoid hot, sharp and spicy foods. Do warm saline gargles with pinch of salt water. Take expectorants. Steam inhalation is very effective for you.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
