Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to an infection. For this reason, I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and some tests:
- a chest X ray study
- complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
