What Medication Is Suggested For Lung Pain?

I seem to have lung pain that won t fully go away. I ve had no issues in the past, just this year. Also note that the 2 areas I ve been in this year many people have had breathing problems only this year. I ve had it off and on since April, but worse when allergies are all round, but its November and I m still having it. I got checked by a doctor in July, and I was fine as in nothing damaged or some serious illness like TB or Bronchitis. I got some medicine that could take out a possible infection, which was doubtfully there. I ve cleaned my house as well as I can and my room more so, which is where its the worst. I feel better in different areas too, unless they have heavy pollen or mold, etc.I guess I want to know if I have something other then allergies and what is the best I can do to feel better, OR if only time and winter will stop whatever.

Hello! It seems to be an allergic response at your lungs that is causing your problem . Most likely you seem to have Bronchial Asthma in which the chest feels tight as a result of the airways temporarily getting narrowed. This attack happens whenever there is exposure to some allergen / cold/dust . I feel it's the feeling of chest tightness that you are describing as pain .Can you please tell if you feel short of breath ? Do u wheeze ? Cough and phlegm ? Coz if these associated symptoms are also there and they increase on exposure to dust / cold/ allergens like pollen then it makes asthma the most likely diagnosis. Also do you have symptoms suggestive of allergic response in your other parts of your body .. like allergic rhinitis or skin allergy ? Any family history of allergy or asthma ? Do let me know these details so that it can be more helpful at confirming my provisional diagnosis .
