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.

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.
