All depends as to whether there is some discomfort to the right or left side of the chest and of course if any the colour of the sputum you may be coughing up if any doubt at all there is the 111 number for non urgent emergency's as yours may be classed as

I care for my husband who has severe Copd. The respiratory nurse told us to start the antibiotics and steroids if two of the following get worse-

More coughing

More breathlessness

More sputum and change of colour of sputum

If you are not any better by Monday I would go and see the doctor. It maybe you need a change in medication. Or you have an infection hanging around. But we have learned not to wait - if you have any doubts start taking the meds and then go to the doc on Monday. Hope you are feeling much better xxxx
