A member asked:

I want to know why when i sneeze, my chest begins to hurt? i am coming down with a cold i think because my nose keeps running. can you help me please.

Allergies or cold: Viral infections and allergies can cause sneezing and also pain or tightness in the airways. Do you have a fever? If you have a fever or feel short of breath then you should see a doctor to check for bronchitis. If your symptoms are mild then try Dayquil and Nyquil for a few days.
