What Causes Congestion In Head And Chest?
I have a congestion in head and chest. During a very severe coughing episode, I got a certain pain in my upper left abdomen. Now the pain is so bad I cannot allow myself to cough unless I have a pillow pressed against the pain spot. Can coughing cause such a pain? I thought maybe I had strained a muscle but there is a little swelling.
