Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion the treatment is good.
But I prefer macrolide over fluoroquinolones. As coverage of macrolide for upper respiratory tract infection is good.
And no need to give levosulpride. Give only proton pump inhibitors.
I would also loke to give anti inflammatory drugs like paracetamol.
All treatment for 5 days.
If not improve in 5 days than get done chest x ray to rule out lung infection.
