Hello dear
I understand your concern
Symptoms looks like pneumonia, viral infection
I would suggest to consult your physician and undergo chest examination, blood tests like CBC, ESR, CRP, chest x ray, antigen test for dengue and swine flu.
Specific treatment depend on cause
Parentral antibiotic will help
Continue mucinex and tynelol
Drink plenty of lukewarm water, steam inhalation and humidifier will help you
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
