Could a back pain and short of breath be symptoms of asthma ?
Patient: I woke up two days ago with back neck pain and pain between my shoulders. No fever at all. Last night I began coughing and coughing up phlegm . Today I am short of breath . I have never had this problem before. Could it be asthma? Doctor: No its not Asthma, Its simple Viral Pharyngitis with Bacterial superinfection. Take some antibiotics, warm saline water gargling and some cough expectorants. u will be alright by 3 days.
