Hello and thank you for your question. From the symptoms that you mention it sounds like you may have an infection causing the cough, shortness of breath and fatigue. I could be influenza, bronchitis or pneumonia. It would be a very good idea for you to see a doctor. Sometimes these infections are caused by a virus and go away on their own. If that is the case you are usually better in about a week. Because this has been going on for 3 weeks I definitely suggest that you be seen as soon as possible.
