[|Human|] hello ive had a cold for 3 weeks now. although the sore throat and dripping noste has stopped i still have a very tickly cough. Today as im coughing i feel a slight pulling feeling down near my going but almost near my lower abdominal....i have seen my gp and she said sometimes these colds just take ahwile to life...is this right?
[|AI|]  Hi. You have a specific problem. You have a pain that has developed after cough of 3 weeks duration. The pain after such an attack in the groin, feeling like pulling down can be due to development of a hernia or enlargement of the preexisting hernia. I would advise you to get the abdomen examined by a General Surgeon to rule out or confirm the diagnosis and get operated if this is a hernia after the coughing has completely settled. In the meantime continue the medicines for your respiratory problems, take steam inhalations, multivitamins, get investigated for routine so that a fitness is achieved for anesthesia and surgery.
