How Can Fever Along With Chest Pain And Breathing Difficulty Be Treated?
My 14 year old daughter has had the flu for about 5 days,fever,chills,headache,body aches,difficulty breathing,rapid pulse, and chest pain. The fever and the body aches have improved but the chest pain, breathlessness, cough with phlemn and fatigue remains. Would it be wise to see our local doctor or will she get better with rest and paracetamol?Thanks

Hello,
Fever, chills, body pain and difficulty in breathing 5 days.
Chest pain present.
After viral fever chest pain and difficulty in breathing -we have to rule out Pneumonitis.
Take X-ray chest PA view/CBC/ESR.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
