Persistent Chest Irritation Similar To Asthma, Cough With White Phlegm. Treatment?
Question: I have a persistent chest irritation on the right side as in an asthma attack but airways are clear. It followed a summer of Asthma that eased with brown inhaler. The irritation has persisted since last September. Some coughing with small amount of clear or white phlegm. Cough eases the irritation for a moment like scratching a itch. Some days worse than others.
Hello XXXXXXX
You are most likely suffering from right pleuretic chest pain that is caused most likely by a localized bacterial infection. You might be suffering frim pneumonia ir chronc bronchitis. You will need to consult a pulmologist who can examine you, determine cause and provide you with appropriate treatment. If she confirms my suspicion, then you will probably receive a course of antibiotics such as erythromycine or azythromycine assiociated probably to an oral steriodal antiinflammatory such as prednisone.
Hope this helps.
