Suggest Treatment For Cough,eye Infection And Blocked Nose
Hi I started with a stuffy blocked nose and a cough 6 weeks ago,i developed an eye infection and also had headaches and sinus pain in my nose which has now cleared up.i still have a slight cough which is worse in the mornings, when i cough i have pain in my right breast, do i need antibiotics, im worried about the pain in my breast when i cough, could this be a pulled muscle?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Due to long-term (chronic) or prolong coughing there is the commonly associated pain in chest or ribs. As cough is forceful exertion, so the muscles do get spasms. Don’t worry this pain will go away once your cough is settled. I would suggest you to take a cough syrup or expectorant if it’s with mucus, only to relieve cough, if you have no fever and any other symptoms besides a cough, you don't need to take any antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Faeza Sherdil
