Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms can be related to many medical conditions. So I will suggest some examinations for further evaluation.
I recommend chest x-ray and a complete blood count Meanwhile,I recommend to use anti-inflammatory medications to treat the pain such as Acetaminophen.
I also recommend to use a mucolytic such as Mucinex.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
