My chest has been congested since last evening. It started out early in the day as just a scratchiness in my chest and throat. By evening it was a full on congestion/burning sensation. Today I m still congested, I m hoarse, and I feel mildly nauseous. I m tired because I didn t sleep well, but otherwise I have no other symptoms. Should I be seen by someone? Or wait it out? I should note that the scratchiness started immediately after I was done giving my two children hair cuts. Is it possible that I inhaled hair into my lungs? I know that sounds crazy but I was 100% fine before and this started as soon as I was done.
