Hi welcome to HCM....

Here you are feeling soreness and difficulty in swallowing along with difficult breathing , so auscultation should be done first to rule out abnormal respiratory sound if heard ..like rhonchi ...

Than accordingly chest x ray and spirometry done if needed ...

If bronchitis present according to severity treatment guided with bronchodilator or short term steroid course ...

Steam inhalation will be useful....

Avoid irritant excess spicy and fried foods ...

If chest pain also included than EKG needs to be done to rule out cardiac cause

Advise : So it is good to consult physician or pulmonologist for auscultation and than accordingly management ...

Take care
