Hi. I understand your concern s. If you are not having fever and breathlessness is not very severe then would suggest you to wait for 2-3 weeks then consult a pulmonologist for a detailed examination and investigation. In the mean time if you are a smoker then it is best to stop smoking to avoid any further damage.
