What is the symptoms for lung infection

2018-07-30 09:51:59
Last week I was exposed to a heavy rainstorm and high levels of pollution on one of my job projects. Since then I have been problem in breathing normally coupled with wheezing and pain in my chest. I was wondering if this is just common cold or has an infection developed in my lungs. Can anyone tell me what are the symptoms for lung infection?
