Hello,
After five weeks you are having chest pain along with congestive symptoms. So acute bronchitis or pneumonia should be ruled out for that. For that chest x-ray done, and auscultation should be done. Also, investigate with CBC. According to reports, further management plan decided. If needed antibiotic and the decongestive drug can be prescribed again. Sputum examination if needed after x-ray and CBC report. Consult pulmonologoist for examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Parth Goswami
