Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I was diagnosed with acute bronchitis yesterday. Terrible coughing. This evening I am having pain to the outside of right breast and right armpit. I am using a heating pad. is there anything else I should do?
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Your chest pain is mostly due to vigorous coughing because of bronchitis. Warm water pad application is good for pain relief. You can also take paracetamol for pain. If we treat bronchitis properly, your cough will subside and hence chest pain will also improve. Inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) should be started for quick relief in bronchitis. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
