Patient's question:
I have a bad cold and cough very severely. I don't have a cough with phlegm. When I cough, my chest hurts a lot. So I want to consult a doctor. What should I do if I have a cold, cough, and chest pain?Doctor's answer:
Like your cough is mainly mild, you should rule out pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae. It's best to go to the hospital for a chest X-ray to see if there is lung infection. Because if there is lung infection, some people may also have chest pain. There may also be blood in the stool. It's best to do a chest X-ray for diagnosis. If there is lung infection, antibiotics are needed for treatment. Pay attention to digestion; get enough nutrition. During illness, the body's need for nutrients is relatively high. If nutrition is not sufficient, immunity will be reduced. Therefore, it's essential to maintain a balanced diet. Pay attention to exercise to enhance the body's immunity. Exercise is the most effective way to improve physical fitness. Properly plan work and avoid overtime. Frequent overtime can reduce the body's immunity.
