Ive been having these sharp pains in my chest for about a week. They come and go and started in just a spot on my chest but have streched over the spand of my chest in a little over a week. I have been sick for about 3 weeks and have been coughing a lot, but i dont know if that has anything to do with it.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having chronic cough (cough for more than 2 weeks) and fever and now developed chest pain. So we should definitely rule out pneumonia in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and chest x-ray. Chest x-ray is must for the diagnosis of pneumonia. You will need antibiotics, antihistamine, anti-inflammatory and other supportive Chat Doctor.
