Constant cough

2018-09-03 06:26:07
Had a cough for 4 weeks. Got told it was bronchitis. Had 2 rounds of antibiotics and hasn’t done anything. Not bringing up mucous. Now have a pain in the right side of my chest when I breath deep in and out. Starting to affect work and sleep because can’t breath properly. Just about anything sets the cough off. Yawning sneezing etc. and right side of chest hurts more when I cough. Currently on antibiotics and aren’t doing much. Plus cough medicine and ventolin if I struggle To breath

This would require a physical examination. Get a chest xray, sputum culture and mantoux test done
