Im having chest pains from a continuous heavy coughing...Every time before I cough, its as if some form of gas builds upin my respiratory system and it becomes inevitable not cough.Say, if I gargle warm water with salt, I feel a form of relief butonly for about an hour before I start having a deep cough accompaniedby chest pains. At one point I was coughing out Phlegm (some green stuff).I need help ...
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Coughing can cause straining to ribs and intercostal muscles. So chest pain is common after vigorous coughing. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid movements causing pain. 2. Take levocetrizine tablet twice daily.3. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.4. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.5. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
