Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion he is having bronchitis.
As symptoms like fever, cough, , congestion , chest pain on breathing etc are seen in bronchitis.
His treatment is proper. And fever is also gone which suggest treatment is working.
I advice these steps for decrease congestion and easy removal of secretion.
1. Avoid smoking, if he is smoker.
2. Drink plenty of fluids.
3. Start chest physiotherapy and deep breathing exercise.
34 You can also start n acetyl cystine (NAC). It is mucolytic, anti inflammatory and expectorant. So it will thin down the secretions and make it easy for expectation.
