Why Is My Collar Bone Hurting While Coughing And Wheezing?
Hello, I have been sick for 4 days now. @ day 2 i developed a cough and wheezing! Tonight I coughed so much that it hurts on the right side just below my collar bone. It hurts all the time no matter what! It hurts worse when I move my arm! What could it be? And I am a smoker!
I have gone through your query regarding pain over collar bone on coughing.
As you said that you are smoker and your cough is quite severe and already 4 days had been passed. The pain at the collar region on coughing demands investigation and physical examination to rule out pneumonia (apical).
To establish a diagnosis you should do-
1- X-Ray chest .
2- Sputum for Gram's staining.
3- Culture and sensitivity of throat swab.
With the help of above investigations and thorough physical examination by your doctor your problem may be diagnose which may be accordingly manage.
Regards.
