Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you had pneumonia, we should rule out
1. Worsening of Pneumonia
2. Post infectious bronchitis.
Both of fluids them can cause symptoms like cough, expectoration, chest pain, shortness of breath etc.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Repeat chest x ray to rule out worsening of Pneumonia.
3. PFT (pulmonary function test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
You may need higher antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids on the basis of above reports.
Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
