What Causes Burning Sensation In Lungs?

Hello,
Part of my right lung very close to the sternum is burning and it feels after I cough like I have blood in my mouth. Although I do not spit any blood. Also it started about two months ago when I got some kind of cold/flue that affected my lungs. It seems like I am having a very had time shaking it off. Could you please advice what it is and what should I do? Not to eager go on the antibiotics.

Hi welcome to HCM...

Here you are having burning sensation in chest ...
So gastritis or acidity could be there ...that can lead burning chest pain...
For that omeprazole taken on empty stomach with lots of fluid and excess spicy food avoided ....

As you have history of cold before around month allergic inflammation of bronchi that is bronchitis has to be ruled out ..
Digital chest x ray will be useful ...
Also investigate with CBC , if eosinophilia high than medication can be given for allergy ..

Your auscultation also necessary along with physical examination..

Take care
