Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.

I understand your problem..

First check your blood hemoglobin level than if needed than iron tablets can taken.

Complete antibiotics course under doctor's suggestion .

After taking antibiotics course than still symptoms are present than consent a pulmonologist for further diagnosis.
Sputum culture test helpful for further progression.

Chest X ray can done for further diagnosis.
