Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a bad fall 2 weeks ago. Along with bruises and cracked knee cap, I must have landed on my chest - on concrete. I’ve had a croupy caugh and the pain is terrible in my chest. It was xrayed but didn’t show anything broken. Should I just ride out the pain?
