Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Pneumonia is condition in which there will be infection of the lung parenchyma by the microorganisms. As you are having pneumonia of the right lung, because of which you are getting these symptoms.

As you have been diagnosed to have pneumonia and I hope you are on treatment. A course of antibiotics will improve the condition by acting on the microorganisms.

I would suggest you to take a syrup for dry cough, the syrup like Bricarex AX will helps you to control the symptoms.
Thank you.
