My children and husband all had upper respertory infection that lasted about a week. I got it a week ago and just as I thought I was recovering I can no longer breathe when lying down, The cough is getting worse again but it is not a dry cough anymore. should I go to the emergency room for pneumonia or do you think it is just another phase of the infection?
Thanks for asking your query completely understand your problem if you are running high grade fever along with productive cough, it can be pneumonia, you can consult a chest physician or a pulmonologist and get a chest X-ray done to rule out pneumonia. About upper respiratory tract infection, you should take a course of antibiotics like lifetime for a week or two. No need to panic.thanks/regardsfeel free to ask more questions may god bless you with good health
