Need Medication For Bronchitis

Ive had bronchitis for a little over two weeks. Im now done with my meds and still coughing horribly. Also I now have an extremely horrible pain right below my right breast. It hurts to breath, cough, sneeze, or move my right arm or even bend. What could this be?

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you may have pleurisy (inflammation of pleura). Because your symptoms like chest pain on coughing, sneezing and deep breathing are characteristic of pleurisy.
So we need to rule out possible causes of pleurisy first.
Following are the possible causes for pleurisy.
1. Pneumonia
2. Pleural effusion
3. Tuberculosis.
So get done chest x ray to rule out above causes.
If chest x ray is normal then no need to worry much. It is mostly muscular pain.
So start painkiller and muscle relaxant.
But better to rule out pleurisy first.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
