Hi,I  have had severe pain in my back near my lungs when i breathe deeply for the past two days and ive been coughing up green mucus.I went to the emergency room today and had tons of blood work and chest xrays and everything came back normal aparantely.They said i have bronchitis and they cannot explain to me what is causing my pain in my lungs when i breathe.they put me on antibiotics for 5 days and said if im not better then to come back.I just wanted to see if there could be any other explanation on what is causing my lung pain.Im a very healthy and active 21 year old female who doesnt smoke.Thanks if you have any helpfull advice.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Bronchitis causes pleurisy (inflammation of pleura). And this pleurisy is the cause for chest pain during breathing. You should apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest. Take simple painkiller and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, pleurisy with gradually subside once bronchitis is cured. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
