Hello
Welcome to HCM,

The history and symptoms are suggestive of some bacterial infection affecting your respiratory system and the lung parenchyma .

I would suggest you to undergo lab investigations like CBC, blood culture, sputum examination and culture and chest X- ray.

For the present symptoms I would suggest you to follow
1. Steam inhalation with vapocaps.
2. Oral antihistamines.
3. Oral antibiotics like Tab Bactoclav, 625 mg, twice daily for minimum of five days.
4. Oral NSAIDs.

If the symptoms are not subsiding you may require IV antibiotics which should be taken by hospitalization.
Thank you.
