I had a flu. everything is gone now except for minor phlegm that i feel in my lungs. my spleen is bothering me now. no real pain except when i cough?

Mgt: Pain with cough during or following a chest infection may be related to inflammation or infection of the pleural space/pleura. I would suggest using a heating pad and NSAID as tolerated, but if you are having any problems breathing, then a follow up appt should be made.
