Problematic : The combination of symptoms could mean that a simple viral upper respiratory infection is now tracking lower down into the lungs. The shortness of breath and chest pain could indicate development of an early pneumonia or pleurisy. You need to visit your nearest Accident and Medical Clinic for further evaluation and treatment.

Sounds like you: have a viral infection. Rest, fluids and analgesics. If your symptoms do not resolve in 48-72 hours make an appointment with a health care provider for thorough evaluation.
