HELLO,
IF THIS IS NORMAL SIR, WHICH IS ABNORMAL?
THE LINE' "MILD BILATERAL PERIPHERAL N LOWER ZONE CONGETION".
IT MEANS YOU HAVE EARLY STAGE OF PNEUMONIA.
GP WAS WRONG PHLEGM IS NOT IN THROAT, IT IS IN LUNG AT PERIPHERAL REGION N LOWER ZONE, WHICH MAY EXTEND IN MIDDLE ZONE.
IT NEEDS APPROPRIATE TREATMENT I,E,INJECTABLE HIGHER ANTIBIOTICS AFTER SENSITIVITY TEST (.AST).
PLENTY OF WARM LIQUIDS, VEGETABLE SOUP, TOMATO SOUP, LUKE WARM WATER SIP BY SIP. IT DILUTE THE PHLEGM SLOWLY WITH ANTIBIOTIC RESPONSE.
AVOID SPICY FRIED JUNK FOOD OR FOOD FROM OUTSIDE.
O.K, BYE.
