I have had a chest cold for at least the past week. It doesn't seem to be getting worse or better. (I have asthma and had pneumonia last year hence the concern.) Sore throat, cough, and chest tightness. Tight cough and on occasion cough up something but I don't think it's pneumonia b/c no fever at all. For 2 days now, it feels as if something is stuck in my throat, below adam's apple. feels like a pill sideways or something. Is this common with chest cold? Should I be concerned?
