What Causes Pain In Ribs And Lungs With Cough?
I am 56 and have been sick for 5 weeks..Doctor told me it was bronchitis but after two weeks and not better they did a chest X-ray and C scan and I have pneumonia.. I was on a 5 day drug and just completed it and still have pain in what seems like ribs but my lungs. Still coughing and very worn out do you know other than drinking lots of water that I should do.

Hello,
I see that you have already treated pneumonia. So, I recommend doing another x-ray to check the actual condition and see if you need further treatment. Meanwhile, I suggest using a cough expectorant to help with the cough.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
