Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of lung infection (pneumonia) is more likely.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and chest x ray.
If chest x ray is showing pneumonia then you need hospital admission, Intravenous antibiotics and fluids.
So better not to wait at home and consult doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
