See Doctor: Symptoms that start with a mild cold then progress acutely should be evaluated by your doctor. Depending on how long you have had your symptoms and the findings on exam you might require a course of antibiotics or a chest x-ray to see if you have developed a pneumonia. See your doctor so that you can be evaluated properly and receive treatment if indicated.
