Have Sharp Pain In The Lungs When Breathing Deeply
I had a really bad cough for more than three weeks and the dr. prescribed amoxicillin which I have been taking for about three or four days now, and today I started having pain in what feels like maybe my left lung, because when I breathe deeply it gets very sharp.
Hi, Coughing for more than 3 weeks indicating towards lower respiratory tract infection either due to bacterial infection like tuberculosis, pneumonia/ fungal infection. these infections may lead to pleurisy or pleural effusion causing chest pain on deep breathing. Go for chest x ray PA view, sputum examination, total blood count, tuberculin test, CT scan of chest,. Consult a physician for physical examination and treatment. I think you need either anti tubercular treatment/ specific antibiotic/ antifungal treatment against causative organism. Thank you for consulting HCM.
