Why My Chest Hurts While Coughing?
Hi, I have been sick for the past couple of days, but today is the worst. I now am coughing and feels like it s coming from my chest and it hurts. I just drank some room temperature water and when I swallowed, it really hurt my chest. I have never had this happen before. Not sure what this means. Please let me know!

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). So better to start this treatment.
1. Avoid oily and spicy food.
2. Keep yourself hydrated.
3. Start macrolude group of antibiotic.
4. Start antihistamine drugs.
5. Start anti inflammatory drugs.
6. Warm water gargles 5-6 times daily.
Take these for 5 days. If not improve than get done chest x ray to rule out Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (LRTI) and bronchitis.
