Hi, I had the flu two weeks ago and now feel pain around my rib cage (upper part) and the back area everytime I breathe deeply or move around. If I sneeze it gets really hard. I am okay by now and my dr. listened to my chest and said all seems clear. Is there any reason for this discomfort? should I worry about it?
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern, this could be bronchitis might have happened due to the flu that you had, inflammatory condition of broncos could cause such pain while taking deep breath, but this is nothing to worry this will get all right take steam inhalation, steroid may be given but for that discus with your doctor, hope this information helps you, take care and have nice day.
