hi last week i was really poorly with migrain, cough and sweating but cold . That cleared up but iv been left with a painful chesty cough. i had it for about a week and im really short of breath. Also when i swallow or drink it really hurts my back for some reason? I went to doctors yesterday and was given an inhaler and antibiotics but wasnt told what i actually had wrong with me or how often to take the inhaler.
You are having lingering effects of a respiratory tract infection which is causing your symptoms. Shortness of breath is because airways become hyper sensitive after a bout of infection and go into spasm with littlest provocation. You should continue with either nebulization with Stalin and decor or take an inhaler like airport 3 to 4 times a day. You may also take a montage LC, some cough syrup and a painkiller. Take rest and soon you should be alright.
