Hello,
I will advise chest X-ray and lab test as TLC , DLC and CRP. If there is infection take the antibiotic as azithromycin. If there is no infection, then go for chest physiotherapy exercises. Also, practice deep breathing exercises.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
