Should I Meet A Doctor For Having Cough With Mucus And Chest Pain?
For a month or so now I've been coughing up mucus here and there, and in the past week I've been having sharp chest pain. I went to the hospital, they barely checked me out and sent me away with a prescription for antiflammatory and something to stop the bacteria production. It's been a couple days since I started talking the medication and I feel the same. Should go get checked out again or hope it goes away?

Hi, thank you for asking healthcare Magic.
With this presentation, I think a thorough clinical assessment needs to be carried out on you associated with some tests like full blood count, chest X-ray and even sputum examination. I would suggest you go back and complain to your doctor.
