Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Dear patient
You should take utmost care of yourself. Exposure to mould leads to lung irritation and infection which leads to coughing and chest pain. I would advise CT scan of chest plain SOS contrast. Please take a visit to pulmonologist nearby you with report and he will guide you with proper treatment.
