I'd say no. It would be a waste of time and money. But pay attention to the symptoms, so if something gets worse, or obvious, you can give a detailed report of how long, how bad, etc.
If you are in US, i recomend generic robitussin type cough syrup with the guaffesion (sp) for the chest clearing. and some psuedophed to take as needed for nasal congestion.
These could potentially interfere with meds you may take, so don't just take my word.
I'm no expert, but you asked and that is what I would do in the circumstance.
