Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Coughing, expectoration, lower back pain etc are suggestive of lung infection (pneumonia) more.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and chest pain x ray.
If chest x ray is suggestive of infiltration then pneumonia is confirmed.
You may need antibiotics, mucolytic and expectorant drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
