woke up yesterday with pain in my lungs- feels like they are sore but no other symptoms but as the day continued I developed a sore throat as well. Today both these symptoms have increased in their intensity but the only new symptom is a stuffy nose. I would just dismiss it as a regular on-coming cold but concerned about why my lungs hurt so much.Thank you
