Recovering From Bad Cold, Still Struggling With Mucus Cough. What Maybe This ?

Hi,

I had a bad cold approximately 3 weeks ago. The symptoms were: headache, blocked nose, mucus cough and a sore throat. The symptoms eased after a week, but I am still struggling with a mucus cough, I feel forced to cough when I take deep breaths and I also have a pain in the center/left part of my chest. Can you advise what this maybe?

Regards AAAAAA

hello
this pain can be musculoskeletal because of coughing...you must consult an ENT specialist and get chest x ray done to rule out chest infection and secondly get nasal endoscopy done so that focus of infection if there in nose can be ruled out.
