Infection?: Pneumonia? If your symptoms are severe see a doctor. Rest fluids, panadol and ibuprofen may help. If you smoke this would be a good time to quit. Over the counter cough preparations may help but would pick the cheapest one.

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