Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Chest Congestion

I have difficulty breathing and it feels like I have some lung congestion and a stuffy nose and a slight sore throat like it has been draining down my throat. I have a harder time with respiratory issue as I have bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis. I have had labored breathing in the last 2 days and am preparing to contact my doctor tomorrow but if is hard to figure out if it is a cold or a serious respiratory problem in my lungs which is very dangerous for me. Usually I have no trouble doing my 5 miles on my walk but it has been a real chore in the last few days as I feel it in my chest more.
