What Causes Cough Along With Chest Pain?
My boyfriend was admitted in to the hospital since Tuesday due to pneumonia. He had influenza before and has finished all the Tamiflu tablets. But right after he finished the Tamiflu, he was infected with pneumonia. He is getting better now but still cough and has some pain in the back and chest. Doctor said that he can come home tomorrow. My question is, he will have a business trip to a very cold countries (10 hrs. flight) on Wednesday, May 3. Is it safe for him to travel? He is 26. Weighting 86 and 6 feet tall.
