I Am Having Difficulty While Breathing

I'm having difficulty breathing. my lungs burn when I try to take more than a short shallow breathe. It makes me cough, but an empty nonproductive cough. The cough causes a tightness and pain in my head.No fever, and cough medicines do not work.

it may be sign of bronchial infection and or infection of the lungs. it is called pneumonia. it needs to be treated with antibiotics. you need to have a X-ray examination of the chest and a chest physician hearing your chest sounds will decide what antibiotics. ordinary cough medications do not work here
