A member asked:
My chest and back hurts when i cough due to chest congestion . does this warrant a chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia . dark green mucus.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: It warrants an evaluation by a physician as these symptoms are consistent with pneumonia but not specific to it. Whether a chest xray is needed depends on additional info, other symptoms, fever, physical exam findings etc.
