Suggest Remedy For Cough,nausea And Lightheadedness

About 6 weeks ago, I was treated with walking pneumonia. Took Biaxin - started to feel better 3 weeks ago. I have 2 children, so resting has not been easy. Last week, I had a massage and have felt much worse since. Am back to coughing up phlegm in the morning and have been feeling a bit nauseas and lightheaded if I ve taken on too much. Am a teacher -going back to work in 2 days and am worried. Is this normal? Do I just need to keep taking is as easy as possible or should I see my doctor again?

Thankyou for the question.
First of all I want to know ,have you completed your course of antibiotics,as incomplete treatment can be the reason of your symptoms too.Have you checked your temprature recently?Ofcourse you should not take it easy and should visit your doctor and discuss further dear.
For home remedy for coughing,nausea and lightheadedness i am going to tell you a remedy surly it can help you.
Garlic – Inhalation.
If the infection is not completely blown, inhalation should be on the first place.
•     Boil water in a pot and add fresh ground garlic (3-4 cloves).
•     Lean your head over the bowl and cover with a cotton towel.
•     Start the inhalation. Initially you may be feeling uncomfortable, but the steam is amazing decongestant to help clear the airways.

Also you need to modify your life style ,e.g ..pay attention to your diet,regular exercise and plenty of water,fruits vegetables.Get your haemoglobin checked too as these symptoms can be because of anemia too and you can discuss further.
hope my answer will be helpfull.
will be happy to hear from you again.
