I Had A Very Sudden Onset Of Chest Congestion And

I had a very sudden onset of chest congestion and extreme pain on coughing. No fever, felt perfectly fine 8 hours earlier. Cbc shows very elevated white count , doc says bacterial. On Levaquin and albuterol inhaler. First day, doc gave me a different antibiotic in a shot with a steroid shot. Now on third day of treatment.
Question is about my cough. In the beginning, very wet and lots of stuff coming up, very painful. Couldn't lay down at all. Now cough is dry and chest is tight. Should I be doing something else?
