A member asked:

I am being treated with antibiotics for a chest infection. now i have developed a pain on the left side of my chest under my breast when i cough. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

? Pleuritis: This could be irritation of the pleura by underlying pneumonia, you may have strained a muscle between your ribs by coughing. You do not say what type of chest infection you have, but if you were seeing a doctor for this, suggest you get back to them with these symptoms.
