Hello Doctor,I am suffering from chest pain on the right, when I am taking deep breath or while coughing.  I have been trying lot of antibiotics, paracetamol and cough syrup. Cough syrup gives me some relief but after 1hr or 2hr I still cough and chest pain is getting even worse. Ibuprofen,  viks steam vapors give me little relief with the chest pain. This initially started with cold and cough. I am suffering from 4 weeks and still have cold, cough and chest pain. Other than this I dont have fever or head ache, I feel alright and I can do daily jobs normally. Could you please suggest what should I do. I talked to my GP and he is suggesting new antibiotics every time I meet him. I have tried, Amoxicillin 250mg (1 week), Doxycycline 100mg (1 week) and  Keflex 500mg (1 week).Thank you
Hey. Welcome to Chat Doctor. In my opinion it would be better if you get a CHEST X-RAY done along witChatDoctorPLETE BLOOD EXAMINATION and ABSOLUTE EOSINOPHIL COUNT. You may be having a lower respiratory tract infection.Also, along with cough syrup you may need to use a good antibiotic like AZITHROMYCIN. Try to avoid being in AC/COLD ENVIRONMENT or you can cover your ears and chest if not possible to avoid them. Avoid exposure to any known allergens as dust/ pollen/ cold environment/ smoke. If you smoke, please avoid smoking, as it may further irritate your lung. If you have any problem of HERD (Castro esophageal reflux disease) then do take care of it. I hope I have answered your query. If you have any questions, then I will be happy to answer it. Take good care. Warm Regards.
