Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
My thoughts and suggestions are as below. The pain in left collarbone area and chest area in spite of normal ECG in presence of treatment with Foracort Inhaler and antibiotic for chest pain can be due to the following reasons: Costochondritis. Inflammation of the collarbone or muscles nearby. Lung and pleura inflammation can cause similar pain. Gastritis with GERD can cause such a pain. I would advise you the following in such a situation: Take a PPI like Omeprazole, antacids and see the result. Consult your Doctor for clinical evaluation and an actual examination so that proper further investigations of blood, X-ray chest and of bones and upper GI endoscopy can give the exact cause so that an appropriate management can be done well. Avoid polluting air as you have respiratory tract infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
