I am a 32 yr old female-69kg.I have bronchitis and have been coughing for the past two weeks.I have been to the Dr twice.I have a severe pain under my left breast, similar to a stitch you get whilst running/exercising.It is a constant pain but is especially sore whilst coughing.It even hurts when I lift my left arm and when I lie down it is very painful when I try to turn.What could this be and do I need to see a Dr
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor... You are mentioning bronchitis since two weeks with cough also ... You might have respiratory tract viral infection leading muscular pain as a constitutional symptom.... I would suggest you to do digital chest x-ray for rule out bronchitis .... And also investigate with spirometry to assess severity of bronchitis ..... According to which treatment guided ... Your auscultation also done ... If bronchoconstriction is there you might need bronchodilator therapy .... Take Ben Chat Doctor. ... If symptoms severe antibiotic therapy given.... Steam inhalation two times a day taken . Hope I have solved your concern . Consult pulmonologist for this ... Take care ...
