Is Sore Throat & Chest Soreness Early Signs Of Pneumonia?

I have a terrible sore throat & chest soreness. Very little cough it is dry cough. I have been coughing up sputem it is usually white thick. but few times its been yellow. Now before I go any further. My sons friend lived with us for about 6 days. He had cough chills fever etc. We told him to go Dr. He said ok TMRW i will go if dont feel well. Well he died that morning so Dr. wasnt needed Cornor was. The ME said he had pneumona & a air borne viris. He was cleaning day before he died with Hydrogen peroxide. So I dont know if that had any effect on his lungs. What do u think am I getting his pneaumonia, or just strep throat or just a bad cold.

Hi thanks for contacting health care magic ..

Here you could have bronchitis or chest infection in form of pneumonia ....

It is better for you to do chest x ray as you are having yellow cough .....

Take levofloxacin like antibiotic that is broad spectrum for five days

Steam inhalation taken with eucalyptus oil .

Drink lots of fluid ....

Excess fried food avoided....

Hot water useful for cough expectoration...

For congestion relief antihistaminic tablet taken...

Yes respiratory infection can spread by aerosols route ...
So chest x ray done .

Consult pulmonologist with keeping this in mind ...

Take care ....
