Brief Answer:
Possible Acute Bronchitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I can certainly understand your concerns.

I apologize for the delayed response owing to my work schedule.

I have worked through your query in detail.

As per your symptoms, you possibly seem to have Acute Bronchitis .This needs a chest xray for further evaluation.

I generally recommend my patients with oral pills of antibiotics like Augmentin and Zedex syrup for 3 to 5 days for effective improvement.

Please check with your physician if he shares my point of view and if can prescribe these medications to you.

Further management if any is based on test reports.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
