I just got over the flu about a week ago, I got better a couple days later but then bronchitis kicked in.  It gave me a chronic cough which I still have and I am still coughing up stuff.  I can deal with the bronchitis but my major problem now is that my upper right chest is in pain.  It hurts when I take deep breaths, especially hurst when I cough, and also hurts from some basic movements.  Today a slight stinging occurred.  Could this be something serious or something simple that will take care of it self on its own?
Hello thanks for posting at Chat Doctor. Going by your description, seems like you have got lower respiratory tract infection preceded by upper resp tract infection. The lower respiratory tract infection seems to have involved the pleura, the covering of the lungs, hence you get the pain. Please do a chest x-ray to find out about the involvement of pleura and fluid accumulation within the pleura. This will usually settle with antibiotics. Since you mentioned that you had bronchitis, I suppose you were already on antibiotics. But sometimes people get infected with Chat Doctor.  It will show what microorganism has infected you and
