A member asked:
Even after antibiotics should you still feel aches and pains in the lung and chest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You might: I assume that you are referring to aches and pains in lung/chest after an episode of bronchitis or pneumonia. If cough was associated with your illness, there might be some lingering irritation of muscles involved in this process. Moreover, inflammation takes time to resolve even after antibiotics are finished.
