What Causes Right Sided Chest Pain While On Antibiotics For Bronchitis?
I have seen my family doctor recently and been been told I have bronchitis.I am taking antibodics for it. Yesterday my right side started hurting, I believe I have pleurisy. I have had it before, but it was years ago. Is the treatment I am on the same for the pleurisy or do I need to contact my doctor?

Hi welcome to health care magic...
Here you should consult pulmonologist for examination and following work up...
-Auscultation
-Blood pressure measurement
-Chest x ray
-Spirometry if needed to assess severity of bronchitis and treatment accordingly
If x ray shows consolidation than sputum examination needed
Complete the course of antibiotic for prescribed duration...
Take care
Take one tsp turmeric powder with milk daily
Lemon juice and steam inhalation also useful
Hope this will help
