Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Fever , cough, sore throat are usually viral in nature but at the same time you need to be alert to notice /report any danger symptoms and loud breathing sound is also one of these , you need to consult your doctor to rule out bacterial infection and obstruction of airways due to swelling leading to rattling.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Take care
