Hi, thank you for posting!
I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.
According to your symptoms, I think that you suffer from a lung infection.
In order to find the right diagnosis you need to do the following:
- Pulmonary X-ray
- Complete blood count
- Sputum culture
- Urine test
The results from the above tests will aid in the the right diagnosis and treatment.
You should contact your pulmonologist to discuss more about your condition.
Ask me for anything unclear.
Take care,
Dr. Behar.
