What Is The Treatment For Severe Chest Pain And Cough?
Hello.. i have great pain in my upper chest on both sides and it hurts when i take more than just a little bit of air in. i also feel now a shooting pain on my left side in my chest area.. i also have a bad cough and have been coughing up some phlem. i can't lay on my back and breath, but i can lay on my right side and breath somewhat okay.. what's going on?
Hence we don't have to neglect this symptoms and further work up needed as follow..... -Auscultation -Chest x ray -sputum examination and culture if x ray shows consolidation (it can be case of pneumonia so) -EKG (because left side pain also present)
If no consolidation seen then there might be bronchitis leading cough and pain...
For that decongestant and antibiotic course of needed prescribed
If chest x ray clear and Auscultation also doesn't reveal any Abnormality then nothing extra work up needed and for pain brufen can be given
Hope your concern solved
