Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Went to Urgent care today, put on meds for sinusitis/bronchitis. Cleared to go back to work tomorrow, but my neck and back ache and I feel like I m drowning when I lay down... Could this potentially be something else? I ve never had a more painful cough and the meds they gave me are doing nothing...
Dear- I understand your concern and will try to help you with my medical advise.You have sinusitis/bronchitis which produces an inflammation in the sinus and accumulation of fluid that can give you a fullness sensation in your head and pain. Back pain could be secondary to the inflammation of the bronchi that is reflecting to the back. The painful cough is because there is an inflammation of the membrane that covers the lung due to the bronchitis.However, if you finish the antibiotics and still feeling sick with neck and back pain, it is better to have a physician evaluation .
