I have had a congestive sounding cough for 3 weeks and have pain in the right hand side of my ribcage.
I am 63 years old, 185 #, and generally good health.
I have been doing alot of deep cleaning in our dusty old attic and at first thought it was due to all the dirt--I do cough up yellow phleghm.
History of dust exposure present .. So you could have viral infection and secondary to it just now bacterial infection can occur...
You can here have bronchitis like infection. Take levoflixacin or cefixime for 7 days. If needed decongestent can taken like cetrizine or oxymetazoline... Drink more water.... Steam inhalation....
If condition worsen chest x ray and sputum examination done.....to rule out pneumonia like infection......
Still according to my opinion your auscultation done first which gives clue for your condition...
