In my opinion you should revise your diagnosis. As both lung field changes with hilum congestion seen in pulmonary edema. Bilateral lung infection is not so common and if present patient usually seems very ill.plus you are having headache may be due to high BP. So get done ECG and 2D ECHO and consult cardiologist.
