Should A Doctor Be Consulted For Soreness In The Leg Along With Cough And Chest Pain?
Hello, I did a sporting event on Saturday and have a large bruise on my inside thigh. Later that night I did a dance performance. I also performed again on Monday night. My leg is sore when I walk and slightly painful when I sit. I also have a deep cough in my chest that makes my chest hurt. I have had the cough for about a week and a half. I m wondering if I should go to a local doctor and be seen.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Leg pain and cough may be different entities. leg pain due to excessive use or cough may be due to upper respiratory tract infection. Use water vapor inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. use tablet Amoxiclav twice a day for five days. Take rest, use tablet Aceclofenac twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
