A member asked:
My left collarbone is in continuous pain and i have a chest cough which has been going on for about 4 days. could it be fractured?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Certainly there is: the possibility of rib or collar bone fracture with extreme coughing but it is more likely to be muscle spasm or strain. Other potential diagnoses include pneumothorax so it would be reasonable to seek health care evaluation as the symptoms have been persistent for four days. A Chest X-ray will tell the story.
