Left lung pain

2018-01-04 21:55:55
Since Sunday day I have been experiencing a localized pain in my lower left lung area. It is a constant dull burning pain, very slight, however it becomes a sharp sudden stabbing pain when i cough, sneeze, take really deep breaths or move/lay certain ways. My normal breathing is not affected. I have not experienced any type of trauma to the area either.

Thorough clinical examination is required if it shows pleural rub or diminution of breath sound  then CHEST  x-Ray to be done.This  may show pleural thickening or effusion.fluid to be aspirated and tested to ascertain the cause.for pain Paracetamol should suffice.
