Suggest treatment for pain and swollen abdomen when coughing
Patient: i have a bad cold which aggravated my asthma. i have taken a lot of prednisolone and inhalers and still feel bad. i have a lot of pain across my abdomen now and it is swolen - i need to cough but its so painful that erverytim i cry. i dont know what else to do Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicPersistent coughing can cause chest or abdominal discomfort.If the coughing is persisting despite the use of your inhalors, it  is possible that you need to see your doctor because you may need to be nebulised. This would be more effective than the use of your inhalors, sometimes these are not enough to resolve acute asthmatic event.You should consider visiting your doctor as soon as possible for an evaluation.I hope this helps
