Hi. I ve had a bit of a cold the past week or so that consisted of almost constant mucus producing coughing. My voice has gradually gotten hoarse (hasn t gone away completely though). Yesterday I noticed that my throat hurt really bad, especially when I coughed or had to swallow. It also felt like I had rocks in the center of my chest, where my heart is, and that it was very painful to breathe. Today, my throat and chest felt much better, but now the symptoms have come back and I can barely swallow and I have to take somewhat shallow breaths. Do you know what might be wrong with me? (Also I m a 17 year old female if that s relevant.)
