Hello welcome to the health care magic
Your work up should be done as follow..
_Auscultation
_CBC
_chest x ray
If x ray shows consolidation or if high total count with neutrophilia present antibiotic needs to be prescribed
Without delay you should consult pulmonologoist for examination
It seems to be acute bronchitis or pneumonia like condition
Hope this information will be beneficial to you
Take care
