I fell against the sofa 2 1/2 wks ago. I went to the ER clinic, not hospital. Due to the fact I have Hep C since 1976 from a blood transfusion, Instead of ordering a rib xray, he ordered an ultrasound of the abdomen, and I already had a script for labs from my family Dr. While in his office, I came in contact with a women and 3 children all sick with a terrible cold, that is going around our area. I'm taking musinex, Motrin, cough meds at night, allergy pills, and a nasal spray decongestit. I haven't been able to get the test, because I am so sick. This morning I started coughing up brown phlgem. Could this be from the cough medicine (it's red) or a possible rib fracture into the lung? The pain is all on my right side from the fall, but it is a 3 from a 9.
