Suggest Treatment For Persistent Dry Cough And Chest Pain

Hello, I have had a persistent dry cough over 2 weeks and for the last 3-4 days have a sharp pain in chest if I try to take a deep breath. Also having sweats on and off during the day when I am up. I have been inhaling vicks inhaler, drinking plenty of fluids, and have menthol cough drops. I thought I was getting better but I still have the cough and pain in chest.

Hello dear

Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .

* This seems to be underlying bronchitis or other lung inflammation rather
than simple cough .

* Recommended to consult physician for basic work up with laboratory
tests and x-ray chest for final management as this requires antibiotics
decongestants and bronchodilator therapy for early recovery .

Thanks .
Regards .
