Chest tightness: These symptoms, if recent, suggest a viral upper respiratory tract infection with involvement of the trachea(windpipe) causing the chest tightness and usually a dry, hacking cough. If there is no associated wheezing,fever,shortness of breath or heavy discolored sputum, antibiotics are not needed. These infections usually run their course in several days. A nasal spray and soothing cough syrup ok.
