What Is The Treatment For Cough , Cold And Influenza?

Hi, I have had a pretty bad cough and cold, possibly flu for the best part of a month now, which has pretty much resolved, but I now have a pain on the left side of my back, level with the lower part of my scapula. This is worse when I cough or breath in and seems to be going into my left arm. I don't feel as if I pulled anything whilst coughing. Any ideas what this could be? Many thanks, Wendy

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Possibilities for your problem can be muscle strain from excessive coughing or irritation in lungs. Better to do a lung auscultation to rule out any problems relating to lungs. If that is clear. Then taking cough suppressants , antihistamines and local hot fomentations will be helpful to clear your problem. In case of any positive lung signs on auscultation then chest x ray will be required.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
