Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, you should definitely consult pulmonologist as soon as possible. Your symptoms like, greenish phlegm, chest pain, right sided lung wheezing etc. are suggestive of right lung pneumonia. You are not improving with routine antibiotic, so you will need higher antibiotics. For this better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray 3. Sputum culture and sensitivity report. Culture report will isolate the causative organism and sensitivity report will guide about effective antibiotic treatment. So don't wait at home. Consult pulmonologist and discuss all these and start appropriate antibiotics. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
