My lungs hurt, but not all the time it comes and goes.  It started 3 weeks ago after my son had viral pneumonia. When my lungs begin to hurt I also get a bad headache that Tylenol wont take away.  Chest X rays are clear as well as sinus x rays.  What could be going on?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis is more likely. Bronchitis (inflammation of airways) is common after viral pneumonia. And it can also cause headache. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Oral combination of painkiller and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
