No usually no any relationship between your thyroid disease and chest infection or disease. So don't worry about it.

If you have any allergy to cleaning products it will cause recurrent chest problems but it doesn't seems you have recurrent chest problems. So I have doubt regarding this also.

It might be a routine viral infection /acute bronchitis which can last up to weeks sometimes. So at present just wait and watch .

If you need to confirm the things you can ask your doctor about CT scan of chest.

Thank you.
Have a nice day.
