Sore lungs

Is it possible to get a bacterial infection in  your lungs from inhaling a bug? I did last Friday May 1st and since then my lungs and throat have been sore and it seems to be getting worse.

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
It could be an allergic reaction. Take steam and an OTC antiallergic like Claritin and see the symptoms subside. For sore throat try warm saline gargle. If symptoms persist consult your PCP.
Hope this helpsPlease let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
