Ive been sick for about a month now. My first week, i was diagnosed with a sinus and ear infection. I took antibiotics for two weeks, and only got my ear infection terminated. My sinuses were still acting up and the illness seemed to have moved to my chest. I have been continuously coughing for about two weeks now, with pains in my chest. I went back to the doctor and was told i have costochondritis. I am taking amoxicillin for the sinus relief, and some cough medicine to help with the pain in my chest. Still finding no relief, they said i had the chance of being borderline pneumonia, is that what i have now?
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Yes, it can be pneumonia. Pneumonia is lower respiratory tract infection (LETI).  And it is common after poorly controlled upper respiratory tract infection (URI) (sinusitis in your case). You are also having chest pain and coughing.  This can be pleurisy.  Pneumonia is common cause for pleurisy. So you might be having pneumonia. Better to get done chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia.
