A member asked:
6 weeks coughing, chest ct showed nothing, treated with soft steroids/ albuterol; i almost stop coughing, chest pain is still there. what happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chest pain: Or chest tightness. Sounds like you are being treated for reactive airway disease/ asthma/ bronchitis with steroid and albuterol. If you stopped early, then that explains your symptoms. You need to continue your inhaled steroid at least three months and use albuterol inhaler as a rescue inhaler at the right dosage. If not sure. Discuss with your physician.If true chest pain, go see doctor asap!
