Pharyngitis: Strep throat infections are rarely associated with lung involvement but can cause rheumatic heart complications although in this country with access to prompt antibiotic treatment of strep throat infections, that is a rare occurrence. Nevertheless if chest discomfort persists or if cough,fever,joint pains develop notify your physician.
