What Causes Pain And Burning Feeling In Lungs When Coughing And Headache?

Have what I thought was bronchitis for last 3 days. Tired and achy with burning in my lungs when I cough. Little bit of fluid coughed up but still pretty tight. I am mild asthmatic was more severe when I was child. Haven t been able to go to work and Here in day four I have a crushing headache. Is hard to even take steps without my head just pounding.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If you are an asthmatic then you may want to try using an inhaler to see if the chest tightness is related to this.

The reliever inhaler would be the one that needs to be used.

It is possible since you have severe headache with muscle aches and pains that you have the flu and not just the common cold.
Paracetamol should help with the pain.

Fluid and rest would also be important.

If there is no improvement then you would need to see your doctor for an assessment.

I hope this helps
