What Causes Cold And Congestion Along With Sharp Pain In Left Chest And Back?

Hi, I m 36 year old female and have had a chest cold. Have been coughing up thick green mucus. Now I have a sharp pain on my left side under my breast that radiates to my back. It comes and goes and almost feels like a cramp or spasm. Any idea what it may be? I have not been to the dr about my cold but have been trying to decide whether or not to go when this pain started. Thank you m

Hi.

The infection must have involved the lungs as well which may have resulted in the pain reflex you have been experiencing due to the commin innervation. I would recommend a visit to the doctor along with a chest xray and an elaborate blood panel, you most certainly have an infection.

Best wishes.
