Suggest Treatment For Bronchitis
Hi, I had bronchitis a few weeks ago and was coughing pretty bad. My chest started hurting and I was able to alleviate the symptons somewhat with Ben Gay. The chest pain was most pronounced on my right side. My bronchitis has gotten better but not my chest, it still hurts. What should I do? I am 39, and weigh 110, and recently suffered a miscarriage
