I have chronic bronchitis and for the last week I have had heavy chest pains , coughing up stuff , nose bleeds , my ribs hurt , and back pains . I've been taking cough medicine and using my breathing treatment but nothing seems to help. Should I go to the ER?

Hello dear user of HCM!
Thank you for sharing your concerns with us!

Since you have chronic bronchitis your are more likely to have acute bronchitis episodes and lung infections too.

If I would be your doctor I would recommend you to go to the healthcare center and go through a chest X-ray, because it may be a pneumonia as a complicated condition and it doesn't go away with cough tablets but must be cured seriously by antibiotics, expectorants, vitamins, liquids, etc.

Even if it is an acute bronchitis, in such cases an antibiotic is recommended.

For the broncho-pneumonia I would suggest you intravenous antibiotics or injections, and if is a bronchitis Orally antibiotics may be taken.

I hope you will be fine soon.
Best regards!
DR ERIOL.
