What Causes Severe Backache And Difficulty In Breathing?

I have had a constant high level of mucus. Today i had a sharp pain across my back. It subsided when I took a shower. Now I have a crackle just under my throat area when I breathe out and I feel like it is difficult to keep my breath - I don t know if I m imagining it but I am uncomfortable.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an upper respiratory tract infection.

I recommend using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen.

I also recommend using mucolytics to treat the mucus.

I recommend drinking liquids.

If the symptoms continue antibiotics may be needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
