hello ive had a cold for 3 weeks now. although the sore throat and dripping noste has stopped i still have a very tickly cough. Today as im coughing i feel a slight pulling feeling down near my going but almost near my lower abdominal....i have seen my gp and she said sometimes these colds just take ahwile to life...is this right?
Hi. You have a specific problem. You have a pain that has developed after cough of 3 weeks duration. The pain after such an attack in the groin, feeling like pulling down can be due to development of a hernia or enlargement of the preexisting hernia. I would advise you to get the abdomen examined by a General Surgeon to rule out or confirm the diagnosis and get operated if this is a hernia after the coughing has completely settled. In the meantime continue the medicines for your respiratory problems, take steam inhalations, multivitamins, get investigated for routine so that a fitness is achieved for anesthesia and surgery.
