Hello,
It may be due to bronchitis. For further assessment you may require complete hemogram, chest X-ray, pulmonary function test after chest physician consultation. You may require antibiotics after consultation.
You can take cough syrup containing pseudo ephedrine. Continue deep breathing exercises. For fever you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
