[|Human|] Hi, I have had a cold now for about 3 days, this is the third day. I am now experiencing pain on the right side of my chest as I breathe. The pain is also there when I cough, but that pain is felt through-out my whole chest...what could this be? Ive only taken DayQuil so far, but today is the first day with the pain.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Chest pain on breathing and coughing is due to pleurisy (inflammation of pleura). Pleurisy is caused by lung infection and bronchitis. And both of these are common after viral cold. So in your case, we should definitely rule out lung infection and bronchitis in your case. So get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). You may need antibiotics and inhaled treatment.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.
