What Causes Excessive Cough, Chest Pain, Headache And Fatigue?

Hi. My boyfriend has been in bed the past 2 days with a horrible cough, chest pain, headache and fatigue. He hasn t been able to eat or drink anything. He s also been coughing up green phlegm. I was thinking either a chest infection or bronchitis? Any idea what it might be?

There are many cause of green phlegm . But your boyfriend suffering for last two days, so it is a acute condition. It is probably due to infection by streptococcus infection though it may be a non infectious condition like sinusitis.
Best treatment option is as follows:
1. Inhale vapor four times a day.
2. Use a empirical antibiotic like amoxicillin (500mg) four times daily for five days.
3. Use a cough formula based on bromhexine and levosalbutamol ( Ascoril - LS)
4. Gurgle four times a day.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Symptoms of cough, chest pain, headache and fatigue are suggestive of infection in the respiratory tract.
It needs to be evaluated and treated with a course of proper antibiotics and decongestant medication.
Kindly consult Physician in this regard for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided helps.
All the best.
