Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your husband's situation and problem.
Possibility of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) is more in his case.
Because of diabetes, lung infection is more common. Diabetic patients have compromised immunity. So they are prone to get infections.
And lung infection is very common.
He is also not improving with routine over the counter drugs.
So get done chest x ray for the diagnosis of pneumonia.
He may need antibiotics too.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wishing good health to your husband.
Thanks.
