Hi
Thanks for asking to HCM.
Viral infection of respiratory track can cause all of the above mentioned symptoms. But you should confirm whether it's viral or bacterial infection (pneumonia) by doing chest x-ray. For that please consult MD physician or pulmonologist.
I think this information will help you.
