Too long: Sounds like you have been suffering for longer than you should have too. Oral steroids may help. It's time to revisit your doctor. Hope you are better soon!

Would expect..: It to be better by now. If you are still having pain and shortness if breath, see your doctor. Ask to be referred to a lung specialist if this continues. Good luck!
