Chest pain sometimes when breathing

Question

Asked for Female, 15 Years

I have been getting pain in my chest when breathing for like roughly 2 months now and it seems to be getting worse, some days it barely hurts but some days it's quite painful like today i woke up at 5 and couldn't get back to sleep because it was so painful to breathe and then shortly afterwards my ribs started hurting too when i breathed. a few months ago i had a horrible cold which came with mucus in my throat and a terrible cough which lasted like 8 weeks. i still have mucus in my throat quite often, are these things linked maybe? am i dying? lol sorry for the disgusting descriptions i just want to get this off my CHEST

Your chest pain is probably related to your 8 wk cough...this will improve gradually...you can take some pain killer like nucoxia on SOS basis...however don't take it often as this may affect your kidneys...also consult a pulmonologist for detailed history and examination.
