Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The symptoms what you have been describing appears that could be down with lower
respiratory tract infection.
To rule out
pneumonia, it would be ideal for you to get a chest x-ray done.
If the report indicates only congestion in the lungs due to infection and so signs of pneumonia, kindly do the following to overcome them.
1. Do salt water gargling with warm water thrice a day.
2. Use steam inhalation to liquefy the mucous for easy
drainage.
3. Take mucolytic-decongestant medications in the form of syrup containing Ambroxol/
Bromhexine,
Guaifenesin and
Chlorpheniramine maleate as ingredients.
4. You need to take Tablet.
Paracetamol with
Ibuprofen combination after food to overcome body aches.
5. Take a course of
oral antibiotics Tablet. Amoxacillin with Clavulenic acid for 5 days.
Strictly avoid consumption of
cold items like cold drinks and ice cream.
Your symptoms should getter soon by adopting to above measures.
In cas ethe chest x-ray report indicates it to be pneumonia or any other such condition, you need to consult Physician with the report promptly for appropriate evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
