I caught my wife s chest cold 4 days ago. The first day was a runny nose, clear and watery. The next day was a mild fever. The third day the fever and runny nose were gone, but had a cough. The cough was mostly gone by the end of the third day, however, I developed shortness of breath and lower back pain. That has persisted to today, the 4th day. Shortness of breath only happens if I move, even rolling over in bed. It feels like the back pain is gas, but I m no expert. Are the shortness of breath and lower back pain likely the last symptoms of my cold?
Greetings! In regard to the history it does look like you have an upper respiratory tract infection! Shortness of breath and chest pain is due to the fact that there is congestion in you lungs! I would suggest you to take Bronco-dilators syrups which will relive your congestion! If the symptoms persist then a course of antibiotics will be helpful!
