Hello
Thanks for the query
Cough while taking deep breath means that your pleura is affected and inflammed. Pleura is a thin lining of the lung and its prone for viral infections. In pleuritis the x ray is often normal
Here is what you should do
1. Get a complete blood count to rule out an infection
2. Tab Atarax is the ideal anti inflammatory for this condition. It can be taken twice daily. It causes mild drowsiness in some patients, in such situations the morning dose can be skipped
3. Continue to take antibiotics
4. Watch out for fever and breathlessness
5. Avoid cold beverages, oily food and smoking
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
