Follow closely. : If it is within 24 hours I would not worry. It should clear on its own. A chest x-ray this early would not help. Eventually a chest CT may be needed if you do not improve. Encourage fluids and feel free to cough as you need. Yes, it could cause an infection/pneumonia but this is unlikely. There is no medical treatment needed at this time. Follow this closely.
