What Causes Chest Pain On The Right Accompanied By Foul Smelling Sputum?
Please, I woke up three days ago and I started feeling pain on the right part of my chest. It hurt when I cough or breathe in, my sputum looks rusty and i kept percieving a foul smell whenever I cough. Even my wife percieves the smell too. Please what is wrong with me?

thanks for posting your query to hcm .
As I understand it is because of some infection .it could be because of rupture of some pus pocket inside your chest . You should urgently consult to a chest and respiratory physician to undergo radiological and culture and sensitivity examination .
hope it will help you .
