Suggest remedy for chest pain due to choking accident
Patient: Hi there, I'm a 17/yr old female and yesterday I had a pretty serious choking accident. I was drinking iced tea and my friend made me laugh, I couldn't breath for probably 30 seconds and she was 2 seconds away from doing the heimlich. Afterwards, and still today, my chest hurts if I take deep breaths or sneeze. Breathing normally seems to be alright though. I wanted to know if this is something serious and if I should get checked out by a doctor? Doctor: Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. No need to worry for this kind of chest pain. This is not serious symptom. It will mostly resolve in 1-2 days. So no need to consult doctor. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol. Don't worry, you will be alright. If not improving in 1-2 days then consult doctor. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
