A member asked:

Although i used an antibiotic, still i have pain on my chest :( and cough. what do you suggest to me ?

Go back to doctor: This cold be inflammation in the breathing tubes (the bronchi) or inflammation in the cartilage between the ribs or lingering pneumonia. All three conditions require different treatment. Go back to your doctor.
