Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Right sided chest pain with radiation to right shoulder joint and breathlessness are commonly seen with lung diseases like lung infection and bronchitis.
So we should first rule out these.
So consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system.
2. Chest x ray
3. PFT (pulmonary function test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
He will mostly recover with antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids.
So first diagnose him an then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
