General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello there I have read through your question and according to me your symptoms are due to a chest infection. As you have mentioned that you have mold in the house it is most likely because of that. I would advise you to use a dehumidifier in your house to control moisture and prevent the growth of mold. Water problems or leakage which lead to moisture increase should be identified and repaired. Meanwhile you can start taking an antihistamine like levocetrizine 10 mg twice daily for five days. If your condition does not improve consult your physician and get a Chest X Ray done. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
