Brief Answer:
You need to visit a doctor, get an x ray done, take steam inhalation

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

If you have chest congestion, you should get yourself checked by a doctor who could assess if you need antibiotics for the same. Steam inhalation should help in diluting the cough and would provide relief. You also need to take some antiallergic like cetirizine tablet for a few days.

Hope that helps.
