How To Treat Cough, Shivering And Tightness In Chest?
Hi
I started of with the usual cold symptoms, temparature / shivering.
This has now gone, but has left me with a tight chest which if go out in the cold / or into a very warm room it starts a coughing fit. Also once I lay down to sleep I cannot get more than an hour at a time sleep due to waking up coughing.
I feel as though I cannot take in a full breath.
Is there anything I can take or do to quickly remedy my respiratory issues.
Ps I am not a smoker / or have any history of respiratory issues

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that this could be allergic condition of respiratory tract and in my opinion this could be treated with the "Tab Acetaminophen and Tab Loratidine with Montelucast three times in day you can even try steam inhalation, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
