Do I have symptoms of pneumonia ?
I have high fever (max :103.66 F) from 3rd Nov 2021. Other major symptoms are feel cold at night even under blanket, whenever measured found high fever, waist ache, headache (during body movement) and dry cough with no mucus being released.
Few test results:
Dengue is -ve
Widal test is -ve
Malaria is -ve
Urine routine is -ve
ESR value is 22
On 15th nov I visited physician, he physically examined and said i have chest infection and suspected pneumonia. He advised for chest Xray and sputum test.
Due to radiations from CT scan, I haven't gone for chest CT scan yet.
My concern is its been more than two weeks consuming cough syrup but rarely some thin mucus from throat comes out. So how can i get my sputum test done ?
And since thick mucus isn't coming past two weeks, do i really have pneumonia ?
Note: on this week's antibiotics (amoxicillin) did get little relief in fever (now max i recorded is 39 C)
