Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion you should get done chest x ray as upper respiratory tract infection can cause lower respiratory tract infection. And tracheal pain indicates URTI. So get done chest x ray and rule out LRTI first. If your chest x ray is normal than start quinolone group of antibiotics. They are very good in URTI. Take plenty of fluids and also take antihistamines. You will be alright in 5 days.
