[|Human|] I have a deep cough (like bronchitis cough) that comes & goes throughout the day. Some days worse than others. I also get a burning sensation between my shoulder blades or on my left side. Also sometimes when I take a deep breath. Ongoing for about a month now. No fever but I get hot if I cough alot.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you need to consult pulmonologist first. As I think you are having bronchitis. Bronchitis needs chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) for the diagnosis. So consult pulmonologist and get done chest x-ray and PFT. If both are normal than no need to worry much. As it will be mostly upper respiratory tract infection. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
