Hi welcome to health care magic...

Yes you should consult doctor for your condition...

Your auscultation should be done to look for if honchi heard....
If it is present than bronchodilator prescribed like doxyphilin or short term steroid to relieve inflammatory swelling....

CBC, CRP and chest x ray done as per requirement....

Your voice affected so laryngitis also might be there....
So I think doctor will give you short term steroid for relief from inflammation...

If eosinophils high than Allegra might be given...

Take care

Advise : Physician or pulmonologist consultation for examination and further up
