Hello welcome to the health care magic

Your work up done as follow....
1.Auscultation
2.cbc
3.chest x ray
4.pulmonary function test if needed after Auscultation
5.sputum examination if x ray suspicious

If needed after above work up than suitable antibiotic course should be prescribed

If x ray shows consolidation than sputum culture done to choose antibiotic course

For productive cough expectorant syrup can be prescribed like Ambroxol

Take one tsp turmeric powder with hot milk daily

Take care

Hope this will help you

Consult pulmonologoist for examination and discuss all these
