started with cold like syptoms 3 days ago, no cold following, but extremly sore throat then breathing pain spreading from throat neck area all over chest as well. Breathing pain developed over last 8 hours. pain significantly greater when bending down. have has headache for the last 3 days also. Doctor has said bronchitis - i don't have a cough though and have had plurisy before - feels similar to that. What do you think
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Possibility of bronchitis is very less as you are not having cough and breathing difficulty. Possibility of simple musculoskeletal pain due to viral infection is more likely because your pain is associated with movements (forward bending). So take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest and neck. Avoid movements causing pain. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 7 days. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
