Brief Answer:
Please take your temperature

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma’am, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but please take your temperature and if it is higher than normal, then I would recommend that you get an X-ray chest to exclude pneumonia..
These symptoms could also be due to gastritis, so please take omeprazol once daily and ranitidine before every meal.. I hope you find this helpful. Feel free to ask further and if you don’t have any other clarifications then please close the discussion..
