Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

Noted you have exposure to cotton..
So here you could gave cotton induce occupational lung problem...
It could be pneumoconiosis...
Called bysinosis like problem...

Chest x ray and pulmonary function test useful...

Just now for throat infection you can take antibiotic and antiinflammatory drugs.
More water....

Here regular follow up needed.

Take care.
