[|Human|] Hello, i am 17 and almost two months ago i went to the hospital and they said i had bad bronchitus and mild pleurisy. I took a five day pill pack of azithromicin antibiotics. I went back and they said i was alright now. The problem is i still have chest and back pains and im afraid they missed something. I was wanting to get someones opinion. Thank You.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray 3. PUT (pulmonary function test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. Both, lung infection and bronchitis can cause similar kind of symptoms with chest pain. If all these are normal then no need to worry about major lung diseases. Sometimes simple musculoskeletal pain can also cause similar kind of chest pain. So avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Take painkiller like ibuprofen. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
