Brief Answer:
if there's shortness of breath you should visit the doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
your case sounds much like a common upper respiratory tract infection (runny nose, fever). It could be influenza or any other illness. Since the fever is gone, you're probably getting better. The respiratory sounds could have been concerning if shortness of breath accompanied them. Such sounds commonly occur to patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) during the course of common respiratory tract infections, but they may also occur to patients without COPD.
So in conclusion, getting better usually means that you just need a few more days for complete recovery. If you have serious symptoms though (like shortness of breath) you should definitely visit your doctor right away.
I hope it helps!
Kind Regards!
