Chest infection or not

[Rosepetal01]

Trying to decide if I go to the doctor or not ( assuming I get an actual appointment). Sore throat for over a week , worse in morning and night . Developed cough last few days , lay awake for over 2 hours hacking and when I wake an hour of hacking up yuck 🤢. TMI sorry . Generally little energy . Am dragging myself to work and whatever else needs to be done but I just want to crawl in bed and stay there . Have had a temperature but only couple of times and nothing too high.
Do I waste the doctor time or just go get more OTC stuff from pharmacy?

If you've tried o.t.c. from pharmacy and still having symptoms then yes you should see your g.p. I'm on antibiotics for exactly the same thing.

He thinks all hayfever related so nothing for now . To go back if no improvement. K feel fine right now although coughing a bit but I bet it be worse once I get home and go out . May just suffer through
