[|Human|] hi, i have been ill for about 2 weeks with a flu, and i started having pains in my right lung, i thought it may be a chest infection so have been pon antibiotics, after 6 days though the pain is still unbearable...it feels like i have sprained a lung, or trapped some muscle in the ribs or something, when i use my left arm it hurts but it doesnt hurt to breathe - only if i take a big breathe
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely because your pain is associated with movements of left arm and deep breathing. So better to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.2. Avoid forward bending and sudden jerky movements of chest.3. Avoid movements causing pain.4. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.5. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen. 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.
