I have been ill this past week with some lung infection.... loads of semi dry caughing and not much getting better despite being on antibiotics (which makes me suspect it is a virus after all).
But anyways, a few days ago, I had this really massive caughing fit. I couldnt stop caughing for like 10 minutes and suddenly i started feeling hot pain around my ribcage. I suspect I might have torn a few muscles between the ribs. This hurts so badly, I cannot caugh and have trouble sleeping, because no matter how i position myself, it is hurting.
The interesting thing though is, that after this "injury" the first 2 days it seemed to be actually getting better, the pain was slowly getting less, but on day 3 it started returning and that despite the fact I havent been caughing much since the day of the injury (and believe me, I think twice whether I really want to caugh now). And it seems to be getting worse by the day instead of better.
I wonder if it is something to worry about.
