Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your querry.
It sounds like severe respiratory infection which is probably bacterial and you should visit doctor for some tests and antibiotic treatment. ALso you should drink enough fluid to prevent dehydration,your white tongue may indicate this. It should be treated before lung infection occur so dnt ignore your symptoms. For cough you can take some marshmallow tea and propolis from honey. WIsh you good health.
