What could cause sharp pain with dry cough?
Answered by
Allergic rhino bronchitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for your query. In my opinion, you might be having allergic rhino bronchitis.
Sharp pain while coughing can be because of respiratory muscle spasm.
If I were your treating doctor, I would have empirically prescribed antihistamines + mucolytics combination drugs twice daily for 5 to 7 days.
Anti tussive cough syrup , 10 ml twice for 7 days.You can take these medication with local doctor prescription.
Do steam inhalation. Avoid oily and cold items.
If you have a nebulizer, then you can take steroid and saline nebulization which will really help you cough.
If symptoms persists, then please consult with your doctor and get evaluated.
You may need blood work, chest X ray, sputum analysis if present, ESR.
Depending on the report, if there is infection, then you may need penicillin antibiotics along with the medication advised by me.
Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.

MD Two days ago I started getting occasional sharp pain inside my right ear and occasional shooting pains in my head, also on the right side. My head feels a little tender in that spot. I also noticed some small, painless lumps on my jaw line under my right ear. I have no idea if they re related to the other symptoms. Any ideas what this could be?
MD My period is now 16 days late, and it is very regular...I use a menstruation tracker. I have been feeling sick to my stomach, getting headaches, severe backaches, and feeling dizzy. I did take a pregnancy test, but it was negative, so I wasn't too worried because I am on the pill (although there were probably a few times where I forgot to take it and then doubled up the next night). Suddenly today, I started getting severe sharp pains in my lower abdomen (mostly on the left side, but radiating to both sides) and severe pains in my upper abdomen, like I was going to throw up...I feel weak and started to have bright red bleeding, although it isn't heavy. all day today before the pain, I was having brown discharge that had stringy clots in it. I am debating on visiting the ER and wanted to ask your opinion.
