What Causes Fever, Severe Cough And Right-sided Chest Pain?

Hey whats up Doc? I had the flu a week ago. Really bad too. Fever, super mucussy, and super bad cough. Now that the flu seems to be mostly gone, I have a terrible pain that is sensitive to movement, coughing, sneezing, etc. Also sensitive to pressing in against lower ribs on my left side. Very uncomfortable. Can t sleep through the night. Can barely move really. also pain increased when I breath in sharply. Did I bruise the lining around my lung or is it possibly a worse scenario?

Hi welcome to the health care magic

You had acute bronchitis like presentation since one week...

Your pain peculiarities mentioned by you suggest towards pain from musculoskeletal pain...

Thus type of pain might be because of excess coughing, so muscular strain pain there

Kindly mention about which drug you have been prescribed?? Your cough and mucus improved totally ??? Which investigations done?? Fever present just now??

For muscular pain brufen can be given for five days and warm compress applied to chest....

Take sleep in supine position

Avoid strenous activities...

If fever, cough still present then chest x ray needs to be done for further work up...

Hope your concern solved

Consult pulmonologoist for examination with keeping all this in mind
