What causes chest/stomach pain, coughing orange mucus and headache?
Patient: Yes I have had massive pressure like chest pains for about 4 days now. I have been trying to couch things up but it has been a dry cough. The symptoms with this is headaches, fatigue and stomach ache, and hard to take deep breaths. As of this am I was able to cough up some bright orange mucas but the chest pain is still there. Extremely painful to take deep breathes. Doctor: Hi,It can be due to upper respiratory tract infection like pharyngitis or laryngitis or sinusitis, may be acute bronchitis,pleurisy etcYou can go for routine blood and X- ray chest with sputum ( if still coming) examination, it will be helpful to make clear diagnosis.You should take antibiotics ( quinolones or macrolides group) with analgesics and antiinflammatory, antihistamines in combination with mast cell stabilizers to combat dry cough.Don't worry about stomach ache and fatigue, it will subside with the infection.You need to see pulmonologist for further advise.Thanks.
