I m just getting over either bronchitis or bacterial pneumonia (didn t get the chest xray). It s been 2 weeks. still coughing...chest really tight...but sorta feels like heart burn...feels like I ve inhaled hot smoke (but I haven t...never smoked ever). Is it heartburn or is it part of the respiratory infection?
Respected user, HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query thoroughly.* Recurrent cough may be due to - Improperly treated previous infection - resistant bacteria - poor host immunity - continuous external exposure to irritants - others.* To differentiate it from heart burn and respiratory infection need thorough history , physical examination, co relation with reports. Hope this clears your query. Welcome for further assistance. Regards.
