Suggest Treatment For Pain And Tenderness In The Chest
Hi I have been camping over the weekend, caught a slight cold and now find I have very tender pain in my upper back/chest the pain feels like being winded, I was at work yesterday and felt fine no pain however I bent down to pick something up and when I rose the pain took my breath away, after sleeping I am very tender, can you offer any suggestion.
You pain in particular position and periodic ...So it could be musculoskeletal pain ...
But as you have history of cold , chest pain from bronchitis should be ruled out ...
For that chest x ray needs to be done ...
If bronchitis picture present with prominent bronchi vascular marking than according to severity treated with antibiotic , bronchodilator and decongestent drugs ....
If chest x ray normal than pain is musculoskeletal pain and only brufen needed for it along with proper sleep posture and warm compress
Take care
Advise : pulmonologist consultation....
