[|Human|] 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?
[|AI|]  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
