    Definitely see your doctor to get this checked. If you start to have trouble breathing, go to the ER.

    I rarely encourage people to go to the ER, but in this instance I am going to since today is Saturday and most doctor's offices are not open until Monday.

    IF you have pneumonia it needs to get treated promptly.
