Thank you- just want I had hoped for- I have developed a fairly severe pain in my left lung- it is at its worse when I cough (even slightly) and my left rib at the bottom is also painful. I have no history of previous lung infection. I stopped smoking, must be 23 years ago. My aga is 76 (Just!) and I livev iive in Thailand. Over to you Doctorif I may please!
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Chest pain on coughing is mostly due to lung diseases like pleural effusion and pleurisy. So better to get done chest x-ray first. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry about lung diseases. Sometimes simple musculoskeletal pain can also cause similar symptoms. So apply warm water pad on affected. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
