How To Treat Bronchitis Which Is Making My Ribs Sore And Tender?
I have bronchitis for close to a month. My ribs were very sore from coughing and are still a bit tender. I have also noticed a bubble that moves on the left side of my ribs but not sure what it is.
My doctor said it was a dimple. I notice it when I move and feel bloated at times.
To treat bronchitis you need an exact diagnosis. To determine the diagnosis you need: 1- Pulmonary X-ray. 2- Respiratory function test. 3- Allergy test. 4- Sputum culture. 5- Complete blood count. 6- Urine test.
You should contact your pneumologist.
Regards. Dr. Behar.
