Hi welcome to the health care magic
Your work up done as follow...
_Auscultation first
_CBC
_chest x ray
_EKG
_spirometry (if chest x ray and Auscultation suggest toward bronchitits) to assess severity of involvement and to decide further management
If needed for bronchoconstriction, some form of bronchodilator inhaler can be prescribed
Decongestant antihistaminic drug will be beneficial
If x ray shows consolidation sputum examination needed
Take care
Hope your concern solved
Consult pulmonologoist for examination and discuss all these
