What Causes Pressure In The Chest While Suffering From Cough?

Hi! I woke up this morning and my chest felt like somebody was sitting on me. I ended up having a cough that has been getting worse all day. I had a cold the past couple of weeks but I thought it had ended. Most of the coughs are brought on from a tight feeling in my chest and a tiny tickle in my throat. And occasionally the cough is a little bit loose. Sometimes I taste blood too, but I dont know if that is just from my throat being irritated from coughing. Do you think I have bronchitis and should be seen or should I wait for it to pass?

in my opinion this symptoms indicates some lung infection, bronchitis. I would recommend you to take a short course of antibiotics along with bronchodilator and productive cough syrup. I would advise you to drink lots of water. you can take montelucast with cetrizine combination.
