What Causes Coughing Up Of Yellow Phlegm Along With Chest Pain?

I went to see my physician on Friday, March 4th. I have had a cough for a couple of months now. He said it's not a cold, it's allergies and gave me a shot of depo medral. Over the week-end I would cough to the point of throwing up. I am still coughing and my snot is now greenish/yellow. then in addition to that, Friday afternoon, after I had been to the doctor, I got sick to my stomach, but never threw up. I am having that same stomach issue. it comes and goes. pretty soon, I will feel fine then I feel like really sick to my stomach. I am not pregnant, I just had my period. sometimes when I am coughing my chest tingles and hurts literally on the outside.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that the symptoms of coughing vigorously along with yellow phlegm and chest pain can occur due to causes like Bronchitis, lung infection, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, lower respiratory tract infections etc..

Consult a Pulmonologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like throat swab culture, sputum culture , chest x ray and blood test can help in diagnosis..

You can be advised antibiotics like Augmentin, a combination of Ibuprofen and Tylenol, anti allergics like Levocetrizine, decongestants like Phenylephrine, Mucolytics like Bromohexine..
Warm saline gargles, steam inhalation and using a humidifier in your room can help..
You can also chew Vitamin C pellet as it will help in improving immunity..
Take a soft diet with ample of fluids..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
Take sufficient rest..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
