What Causes Pain Around The Breast Bone Region While Breathing?
I have pain every time I breathe and it is right below the breast bone on the right side . When I push on the ribs it hurts on my side and back. I have had a cough for about 3 months that doesn t seem to go away. I have been on Amoxicillan 2 times and and a decongestant. Should I be concerned that it is something else causing the pain?
