Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely consult doctor and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and chest x ray.
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection as lung infection is common after pleurisy (infection of pleura) and can cause similar symptoms.
If chest x ray is normal then no need to worry for lung infection.
Possibility of simple viral URTI (upper respiratory tract infection) is more in your case. So drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated. Avoid oily and spicy food. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
Take antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
