Hi everyone, does anyone here having lung infection before? Last few weeks ENT doctor told me I have lung infections and take medicine for 2 weeks. It’s getting better, but my chest pain still there if I cough or sneeze. It’s feel like torn sting my left chest.

But doctor told me that I had ate 2 weeks antibiotics, lung infection should be fully recovered and there is no need to follow up again. Even though I told him my chest is still pain if I cough or sneeze. Besides that, my throat not feeling well too, sometime have small amount of phlegm when cough.

Should I go find another doctor to checkup again?

Ps. I get treatment from Colombia Hospital at Setapak. Should I give a try at other specialist clinic or hospital?

Your advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Erm, from what I observe it doesn’t get worser or get better. Maybe I drink cold too often.

How the cough started?

Were there a sore throat and runny nose initially?

Or the cough came out of nowhere without any other symptoms?

I will start cough when I try to laugh out loudly or did not drink enough water. Sore throat come in the middle of treatment until now. So does the chest pain.

Sometime cough without any symptom. Maybe is because of dust at my place.

So, it has been two weeks.

If it does not get any better after another one more week, you should see a chest specialist.

Thanks for your advice. Hopefully will get better after another week.

I am coughing for 4 weeks now. Finished 3 bottles of cough syrup, 1 bottle of pei pa koa.
I think the main reason is because I keep drinking cold drinks and not changing my diet
