An infection: It sounds as if you have a viral infection with bronchitis or pleuritis. At worse you might have pneumonia. I would see your physician.

Sure: Sounds like the beginning of a viral illness. It may pass on its own with a little rest and tlc. If it doesn't, or it worsens, see your doctor.
