Hello,
Your symptoms could be suggestive of a sinus or lung infection. I recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam, a chest and sinus X-ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR). You may need to start antibiotics.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
