Suggest Treatment For Severe Cold And Cough

Time to take a consultation.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mrs XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query here.
Cold and cough can be due to infection in the upper airways like pharyngits and sinusitis with post nasal drip. However, chest tightness indicates that the symptoms take origin in your lungs. Chest examination to see if there is any wheeze or crepitations is needed to rule out conditions like allergic airways and pneumonia.
Generally you have high spiky fevers, chest pain which worsens with deep breathing and colored (Rusty/greenish/yellow) sputum in pneumonia. However, in the early stages where it is still evolving, you may not have all the symptoms.
So i would recommend a consultation along with some investigations like Chest X Ray and sputum examination which will confirm the diagnosis. A course of antibiotics will then be prescribed by your doctor which should bring you back to normal.
Hope i am clear. Feel free to post if you have any further queries.
Good luck.
