Dry coughing and occasional fever

I have been suffering from chronic dry coughing for the past 3 weeks. I had occasional mild fevers in between. Visited local doctor who prescribed some syrup and OTC medications which didn't work. Went to a MD doctor who advised xray. The xray report said inhomogeneous opacity seen in the right paracardiac region. Have been put on antibiotics and syrups and constantly given nabiliser which doesn't seem to help much. The coughing continues and worsens very often. Have done my sputum test results of which are awaited. What could be the reason for such a chronic coughing condition and any suggested diagnosis?

Pnemonia query

Hello doctor, I have been admitted in hospital for Pnemonia. My blood reports are normal except ESR which is marginally higher. Xray is attached. I got my Sputum test done and the e-report what I saw on doctor's phone showed something like Haemophilus influenzae(got exact term from Google) what doctor referred to as a type of bacteria that causes Pnemonia. The medication that are currently going on are Taximax 1500 Pulmoclear Zipod CV 200 Linowin and Ambrolite Mucolytic syrup. I used to have low grade fever but now the fever is not there for the past 3-4 days but the coughing still continues and aggravates very often. The coughing is completely dry and no Sputum is generated. The treatment has been going on for the past 6 days and I'm still in hospital. Would like your opinion on how long will it take for the recovery with the current treatment?
