Is Pain In Chest And Back While Breathing, Coughing And Moving After Being Hit On Chest Concerning?
i was hit really hard on the left side of my chest by special needs child. He hit me pretty bad with his head. It hurts when i breath, cough, sneeze, laugh, or move a certain way. Not only is it my chest that hurts but also the left side of my back too. This happened about 5 days ago and im still experiencing pain.
I would suggest you to get a chest x ray, and there is chance that you may have rib fracture. If that comes on report then treatment will be ultracet tablet, Diclofenec gel and rest. Avoid coughing and sneezing. Rib injuries heal slowly.
