What Causes Chest Pain After Coughing?

Hello I'm 18, male, 260lbs, 6'0"
Last night I was making myself cough to get flem out of my bronchus tubes (just getting over an Upper Respiratory Infection) and I seemed to have hurt myself. Its been about 24 hours and now I feel accute pain from right under my right shoulder blade straight through to the front of my chest, also on the right side. Its hurts to breathe or lifting things even slightly moving my arm. Can someone tell me what is wrong?

Hi welcome to health care magic...

Your work up done to rule out respiratory cause which seems most likely here like...
-brobchitis or
-lung parenchyma infection or pleurisy

Your auscultation should be done first and than chest x ray done...
If needed than spirometry done to assess severity of infection....

You might given levofloxacin like suitable antibiotic course...

If bronchoconstriction present than you might given bronchodilator drug by nebulization....

For congestion relief take benadryl drug for few days

Take one tsp ginger juice with honey daily

So according to the cause further treatment can be guided...

Take care

Advise : Pulmonologist consultation for examination...
