Suggest Treatment For Soreness And Pain In The Lower Back
i have been cough for months., Ran a 1/2 marathon May 2,was out the next week not being about to breath, and coughing. Went to clinic and they gave me 6 days of steroids. They calmed my coughing and not being able to breathe. 3 weeks later and I am still coughing day and night, and when I try to run within a mile, I am gasping for a breath and my chest hurts and I cough non-stop. My body aches all over. Any suggestions?

Dear friend,thank you for your consultation.as you are having cough for several months it can be due to some underlying disease.your temporary stopping of cough after taking steroids only reinforce my guess.and certainly if you cough continuously you will have chest pain.from my day to day clinical practice I can say you should go for a x-ray chest to know if there is any problem in the chest causing this nagging cough.also simultaneously take a full course of broadspectrum antibiotic to cure any infection if you have.in this way I sincerely believe you will get cured.my best wishes for you.thank you.
