Thank you for your questions. The following answers regarding your current queries are just general descriptions due to the limited information provided by you. Click on this link (DoctorOnCall) for a private consultation with our doctors.
First and foremost, we truly understand your concerns regarding your symptoms and other health problems you might be facing. From your complaints, we believe that your condition may be caused by chest infection. These are the symptoms of chest infection:
- a chesty cough – you may cough up green or yellow mucus
- wheezing and shortness of breath
- chest pain or discomfort
- a high temperature (fever) of 38 degrees celcius or above
- a headache
- aching muscles
- tiredness
The site of your abdominal pain is, however, unclear. Is it at the back or the front? Hence, it is best for you to visit a doctor for thorough examination of both your respiratory system and your abdominal system.
In order for us to provide you with an accurate choice of treatment and management, we need additional details to explore further into your current complaints.
