What Is The Treatment For Pain In The Right Side Of The Chest?

Hello I ve gone to two doctors for probaly the past month. This all started when I had pain on the right side of my chest they said it was a lung infection and gave me penicilin it helped and it went away but 3ish weeks later all of a sudden I felt very tired and dizzy and got a bad headache all of a sudden and the chest pain was back. They put me on penicilin again which is not helping anymore and then I go to another doctor and he says it s aniexty disorder which I strongly disagree with and I also have an itching burning feeling under my rib cage/ breasts on and headaches very tired and chest pain any idea what it could be?

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
No, this is not anxiety related. By your history and description, possibility of recurrent lung infection or bronchitis is more in your case.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection. And if it is present than you need higher antibiotics because you are not improving with penicillin.
PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis.
It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid.
So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
