[|Human|] Hello. I was dx with walking pneumonia today and put in erythromycin and robitussin AC. There is mucous in my airway 100% of the time. The robitussin AC is not helping with suppressing the cough or thinning mucous. I am 33 year old female by the way. I have a consistent fever between 100-103 depending on what stage Advil is at. And the worst sore throat of my life which is getting worse from coughing. I don t know what to do. I ve been awake for almost 24 hours because I can t sleep. Would a heating pad help my chest? The only reason I m not calling my GP at the moment is because it s 2am and I feel bad.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Yes at present you can definitely put heating pad on the area of pain. It will definitely help you. I also advise you to get done chest x-ray to confirm pneumonia. And since you are still having high grade fever (fever more than 101), I think sputum culture and sensitivity is needed. Azithromycin is not helping you. So we need to identify the organism and start treatment according to the sensitivity report. So better to consult your doctor tomorrow and discuss all these. At present, you can use heating pad.
