Suggest Treatment For Body Aches And Dizziness With Respiratory Infection

I have a upper respiratory infection, and sinus infection, extreme coughing, phelm is bright green and hot, this has been going on 3xdys now. suddenly today I felt like I couldn t breath, body started aching severely, dizzy. The only relief I could get was stretching my body out and soaking in hot water, I got extremely cold and chilling. It lasted about 30 mins. still feel achy however not as severe. My calf muscles are jumping constantly. I take Lisinopril, Cymbalta, the only new medication is a antibiotic, decongestant, and water pill. Any ideas, should I go to emergency room?

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
thanks for asking your question

you should consult a Pulmonologist in the emergency as , inspire of taking the medications your symptoms are not resolving

probably the antibiotics you have been prescribed empirically are not working

green phlegm means a bacterial infection

Pulmonologist may request for a chest X-ray and a sputum culture and sensitivity for pyogenic organisms and more appropriate treatment can be started according to the sensitivity reports

steam inhalation ll help a lot
thanks
