Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I’ve been having sharp chest pains for the last 3-4 months, bad coughing when I exert myself, a metallic taste when I cough... I basically dealt with it by never over exerting. But 3 weeks ago I caught a cold and I haven’t been able to get rid of it. The chest pains and cough are getting worse and harder to control, even when I’m not really doing anything. I’ve been taking all kinds of cough medicine, nothing seems to help
