Recurred Severe Chest Pain And Soreness With Dry Cough, Spitting Up Green. Diagnosed Costochondritis. Any Suggestions?
I have a pain in my chest on and off since september, my doc said it wascostocondritis(not correctly spelt). on sept 8th I could not breathe properly but this cleared up with anti biotics, I had a chest x ray in october which showed chest infection and pleuritic changes. I am due to have another x ray on my chest on december 18th. Pain is back in my chest today constantly and very sore, pain in outer sides of my breasts too.Got a bad dry cough now but was spitting up green this morning.

Dear!
These all symptoms suggest you are having chest infection again. Green Sputum is the best sign of chest infection. Dont wait for the Chest Xray again and tell your doctor to give you antibiotics again. If I were your doctor I would have started you with broad spectrum antibiotics right now. In our centre Moxifloxacin 400 mg (by name Moxiget or moxibact) for 5 to 10 days treat such infection promptly.
along with above medicine take rest and keep yourself warm. Take Syp Tixylix or any other cough medication for sputum relief and tab-Panadol 500 mg three time a day for Fever and body aches. you will be healthy in just few days.
I hope this is what you were looking for.
