Dear lybrate user, as you have been suffering for 4 months inspite of taking medication, there is no point of giving empirical advice. You should visit a doctor as your chest would need to be examined as well as a culture-sensitivity test for your sputum. Other than this a detailed history as well as your current status details are required, the doctor may ask for additional investigations. Hence do not waste time and seek medical consultation at the earliest. Meanwhile try staying away from dust and do warm salt water gargles 3-4 times a day. Get well soon!
