Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You need to do a chest x-ray and a pulmonary function test. Also, give a throat swab and culture sensitivity. Start taking tablet Augmentin twice daily for 7 days, and continue Montelukast and levocetirizine combination for 3 weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
