Hi doctor, I had consulted earlier here. I had complained with issues of cold and strep throat. Doctor had prescribed Azithromycin, Crocin, and Fexofenadine. The strep throat is recovering. I no more have running nose but I feel that my chest is heavy while breathing. Could you please tell me what it is?Nothing to worry right?
Hello,  Welcome to icliniq.com.  According to your statement, you had a strep throat and now your chest is heavy while breathing. Upper respiratory tract infection is very common complication of untreated or partially treated strep.throat it makes your chest heavy while breathing due to thick mucus production. You do not mention here about your fever or joint pain or shortness of breath or chills or cough, etc.  Again strep.throat can cause several complications like pneumonia, bronchitis acute and chronic, streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, rheumatic fever, etc., which associated with chest pain, heaviness, fever, cough, etc.  You are on medications like Azithromycin, Fexofenadine, Paracetamol, etc. You can add Montelukast, nebulizer with Salbutamol three to four times daily with mucolytic agents like Mucinex, Carbocysteine, Bromohexine, Pulmozyme, etc., to make your thick mucus loosen and remove easily through coughing.  You should undergo CXR (chest x-ray), CBC (complete blood count, ECG (electrocardiogram), etc., to find out the cause and carry on your medications. If any complications occur inform me I will help you to treat further.
