Pain in right side underneath ribcage

2018-01-01 04:25:58
I've had a pain in my right lung for over a week now I've been to the doctors about it and he said I'd pulled a muscle. Since seeing the doctor I can't put any pressure on my right side at all and haven't been able to sleep properly since due to the pain. I have been advised to take paracetamol etc and I have but nothing seems to take the pain away I'm struggling to breathe and I have a dry cough. It's excruciatingly painful to cough
