How To Get Rid Of Congestion In The Chest?
I have had a cold for a week and a half now and the cough is awful. Now I'm noticing a strange feeling in the right side of my chest when I inhale. Almost like air, I can feel it if I put my hand on my chest and can sometimes hear it. What is that and how do I get rid of this cough?

I think you need chest x ray urgently. To hear crackels is very unique and seen in only few conditions. Old TB with fibrotic lung, bronchiectasis, severe heart failure or extensive pbeumonia. For all these you need chest x ray and pulmonologist opinion.
