I have a fever and recently I've experienced wheezing coughs and chest sounds. After some research on the internet I found causes of this such as pneumonia, lung disorders, or asthma. All of this worries me, can you tell me what I might be experiencing?
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Fever, wheezing (whistling sound from chest) and chest congestion are commonly seen with pneumonia and bronchitis. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x ray is needed to rule out pneumonia. PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. You may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and other supportive treatment. Please quit smoking as soon as possible if you are smoker. 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.
