[|Human|] A few days ago I started having this mild pain in the center of my chest. When I burp or hiccup it is a sharp pain. I am a smoker and have smoked for over 10 years and am 28 years old. I have also had a lingering cough for about a month now and will cough up mucus every morning.

Spirometry is to assess severity of disease and management accordingly... You high prescribed bronchodilator if bronchoconstriction preset ...(auscultation will show rhonchi in that case)Suitable amoxicillin like antibiotic also given ... Steam inhalation done two times daily ... Turmeric powder with hot milk taken daily ... Avoid smoking .... If bronchitis not there than other causes will also be cleared from x-ray and spirometry... As having chronic smoking history pulmonary fibrosis can be there for which steroid needs to be given ... Take care . Advise : consult pulmonologist for examination
