Pulmonology

if this is bronchitis, the problem is that there may be some swelling inside her lungs’ airways. It causes coughing, mucus and sometimes fever too. Give her lots of water to drink and let her have enough bed rest. Additionally, consider buying an OTC cough syrup with dextromethorphan for her. This will relieve the irritation in the throat making the cough less frequent and more productive. Do not exceed the recommended dose on the label without consulting a doctor or pharmacist first. 

Based on what you’ve said, your persistent coughing, chest pain, and rapid breathing could point toward a long-term lung infection. In some cases, infections can still linger even after the antibiotics course is completed. Therefore, my advice is that you return to your pulmonologist for a check-up to ensure everything is fine and seek additional treatment if necessary. 

Chest pains and breath problems may occur sometimes after getting a lung infection. Keep in mind that it could be inflammation in your lungs or heart. And also don’t forget that it may lead to critical consequences if not treated immediately.

It is best to have your daughter evaluated by a pulmonologist. The pulmonologist may recommend a variety of tests to assess her breathlessness, including a chest x-ray, spirometry, a complete blood count (CBC), and a complete metabolic panel. Depending on the results of the tests, the pulmonologist will recommend additional tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) or a pulmonary function test (PFT). Additionally, the doctor can recommend taking medications to help manage her symptoms. It is important to monitor her closely for any changes in her breathing patterns.

It is possible that you may have an underlying respiratory condition such as asthma or COPD that is causing your symptoms. You should see a doctor for a more thorough evaluation and to discuss treatment options. It is also possible that your symptoms could be caused by allergies or other environmental triggers.

Since this left sided chest pain has been persistent for 6 months, therefore it could be as a result of following conditions:
1.) Angina: Is a symptom of any heart related problem such as coronary heart disease. It describes chest pain, discomfort, or pressure that you get, when your heart muscle isn’t getting enough oxygen from blood. You might also have discomfort in your arms, shoulders, neck, back, or jaw.

2.) Heart attack: A heart attack takes place when the heart muscle is damaged because it can’t get enough supply of the oxygen-rich blood. Some heart attacks start with mild chest pain that builds up slowly. And in other cases they can also start abruptly, with intense pain on the left side or center of your chest.

3.) Myocarditis: Chest pain can also be a sign of heart inflammation. Myocarditis can affect your heart’s electrical system, weakening your heart or causing permanent damage to the heart muscle.

4.) Cardiomyopathy: Cardiomyopathy is a disease of heart muscle or enlarged heart. It’s possible to have cardiomyopathy without symptoms, but it can certainly cause chest pain.

5.) Pericarditis: Pericardium is the two thin layers of tissue that surround the heart, when it becomes inflamed or irritated, it leads to a sharp stabbing pain on the left side or middle of the chest. You might also have pain in one or both shoulders.

6.) Hiatal hernia: A hiatal hernia is when the upper part of your stomach pushes through the large muscle between your abdomen and chest (diaphragm).

7.) Problems with your esophagus: Chest pain can signal that there’s something wrong with your esophagus.
For an instance, an esophageal muscle spasm can cause the same type of chest pain as a heart attack.

Also, if the lining of your esophagus becomes inflamed, then it can cause burning or sharp chest pain.

Furthermore, an esophageal rupture, or tear, allows food to leak into your chest cavity, causing mild to severe chest pain. It can also lead to nausea, vomiting, and rapid breathing.
8.) Pulled muscles and chest wall injuries: Chest pain can be caused by pulled, strained, or sprained muscles in either the chest or between the ribs. Any injury to your chest can lead to pain.

9.) Collapsed lung: This can be caused by disease or trauma inflicted upon the chest.

10.) Pneumonia: Sharp or stabbing chest pain that worsens on taking a deep breath or while coughing could point at pneumonia, especially if you were recently infected by a respiratory illness such as bronchitis or influenza.

11.) Lung cancer: Chest pain can sometimes be a symptom of lung cancer. Symptoms don't necessarily appear in the earlier stages. The sooner you’re diagnosed and treated however, the better will be outcome.

12.) Pulmonary hypertension: is high blood pressure in the lungs.

13.) Pulmonary embolism: Meaning a blood clot in the lungs.
