Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. As you are HIV positive person I don't that you are having a pneunocystic caring infection. You should be investigated in the laboratory. Laboratory report stating the pneumocystic caring pneumonia will require urgent treatment. It is common in the HIV positive person and requires immediate treatment. It will present as a cough, and interstitial pneumonia. You can give clotrimazole as a treatment. It will cure the pneumonia. Please sleep as a head in the upright position. This will help in relieving cough. Please maintain good local hygiene. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.
