Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should rule out lung infection (pneumonia) and bronchitis in your case.
Because both of them can complicate after viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) and show similar symptoms.
So get done chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
You may need higher antibiotic, inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
