Hello dear,welcome to HCM forum.
You was given paracetamol and antihistamines.
As the fever is persisting,we have to add antibiotics after examining the chest.I usually gives antibiotics like amoxicillin+clavulonate or azithromycin for 3 to 5 days.
Your doctor will guide you.
Meanwhile,continue present drugs.
Hope you will find this answer useful.
Thank you.
