Dr. Donald Alves answered

Specializes in Emergency Medicine

See Dr: If symptoms present and persisting for more than two weeks, then it is time to see your dr / urgent care for examination. They may do tests/chest xray, depending on history and exam findings to be sure not missing something more complicated.
