Hi Crlysm,
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
Probably you have reached the saturation point of neglecting you health and you disease is reaching it's break point.
Please take step on urgent basis.
You may be having TB/Pneumonia or malignancy.
You need to consult a physician at the earliest, the pain in right side of abdomen is probably due to pleurisy that develops after serious infections.
Delaying from here means you are risking your life.
Take care!
Wish you a great health!

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Presence of shortness of breath and red color phlegm indicates involvement of lung parenchyma.
Do you have fever/ chest pain?
You should immediately consult in ER with physician and should go for chest x ray on urgent basis.
There is possibility of involvement of intestine in right lower abdomen by the same disease.
You should also go for following investigations: complete blood count, ESR, CRP, ultrasound imaging, blood culture and sensitivity.
You should also go for CT/ MRI scan abdomen.
You may have tubercular etiology behind described symptoms.
Get well soon,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava

Hi,

Thanks for your query.

See shortness of breath along with coughing up of red rusty to dark red pain is suggestive of pneumonia. In that case before starting antibiotic you have to have a sputum Gram stain, Z-N (Zeihl-Neelsen stain) staining and pyogenic culture sensitivity teseting so that appropriate antibiotics can be started with fruitful result. Along with this i also advise you to have a chest x-ray PA view and routine blood tests (TLC,DC,ESR, Serum UREA,CREATININE, SODIUM AND POTASSIUM) so that appropriate decision can be made whether you need hospitalisation or home treatment as per CURB-65 criteria.

I think abdominal pain can be explained from same common source of infection with that ofvthe lung causing appendicitis, gut infection etc. You need to have atleast an ultrasonography (USG) of whole abdomen along with pelvic organs to exclude organic causes of pain abdomen.

I think with these work-ups you can find out the cause of your pain and chest problems so that appropriate treatment can be initiated to relieve your symptoms.

If you want to know further you can address me your queries on our premium forum.
