I've been feeling some weird chest discomfort. I was sick before feeling this like a mild sore throat. So were my kids sick too with a cough that lasted for two weeks but there fine now. So I feel this weird chest discomfort and itchy sensation in my chest. I have this dry cough but it hurts in the middle of my chest when i cough.
