Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should rule out lung infection (pneumonia) in your case.
You are having cough with phlegm and chest congestion which are not improving with routine antibiotic and other cough medicines. So possibility of lung infection is more.
You are also having high white cell count in blood report. This also favours lung infection.
So better to consult doctor and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray.
Chest x ray is must for the diagnosis of pneumonia.
You will improve with higher antibiotic and other supportive drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright with appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
