Brief Answer:
Need to do lung xrays

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome. I don't see some dramatic issue here but I would advise to see doctor and do lung xrays to rule out pneumonia which may be a complication of upper respiratory infection and you may need antibiotic therapy. However, if symptoms are mild and there is no fever now, you can wait. Wish you good health. Regards
