I have a cough and chest pain?

26-year-old woman3 years ago
Hello! What can I do if I have another flu and I still have a lung ache and cough? I would like to consult but they won't take me... After my bronchitis antibiotics I was better, even 90% better. But now I don't know what to do... Only 1 month ago I had a bronchitis. Since last February, I have had a lung ache, I met a pneumologist. I had antibiotics.

Hello, thank you for your question!
Would it be possible to get the following information?
How long have you had these symptoms? What are they exactly?
Thank you in advance!

The flu symptoms I have now have been going on for about 5-6 days. Cough/sore throat/slight lung pain and mucus in the back of my throat (I sometimes cough up mucus)
The lung pain started last February and lasted until June when I saw a pulmonologist and got antibiotics
And at the end of July/beginning of August I got bronchitis and the symptoms were coughing runny nose and lung pain/bronchitis
Note that when I say lung pain, I mean mostly chest pain because I don't know enough about it and I don't know EXACTLY where my chest pain comes from. Thank you

Thanks for the information!
The cough you report can indeed contribute to chest discomfort, as it is a symptom that involves a lot of muscles and joints
For now, the best treatment will be non-pharmacological: I suggest nasal hygiene with saline solution, like Hydrasense, Sinus Rinse or others. By cleaning the sinuses from the "front", we prevent the discharge in the throat and we can greatly reduce the cough. This can be done as often as desired during the day, there is no maximum. It's a bit unpleasant but very effective!
You can also apply a Vicks type ointment on the chest or back, if needed
However, if you notice that the situation persists beyond a week, or gets worse, or is accompanied by other symptoms, you should consult a doctor again.
I hope that I have been helpful to you and I am available if you have any further questions!
