Have bronchitis and am on cefdinir. having terrible back/upper body/chest pain. is this from all the coughing? i'm scared it hurts so bad!

Get a chest xray: Terrible back and upper body pain and chest pain may be due to coughing, but it is also potentially a sign of pneumonia. If it hurts so bad that it is frightening you, it is probably a good idea for you to be evaluated, including a chest xray to rule out pneumonia.
