Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.As per your query you have symptoms of cough with lot of mucus, wheezing, and sweating which seems to be due to severe upper respiratory tract infection. You may have lung infection or bronchitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles with pinch of salt water. Take expectorants. Steam inhalation is very effective for you. Consult pulmonologist without any delay. Doctor may order blood test , throat swab test. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics amoxicillin or penicillin at least for 10 days along with decongestants and mucolytic agents. Mast cell stabilizers such as sodium cromoglycate is effective to prevent infection. Avoid cold carbonated beverages.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
