I have chest and shoulder pain when I sneeze, along with a cough for the past few days, but no difficulty breathing. What medication should I take to relieve these symptoms?

Asked by Male, 35 · 4 days ago

Your chest and shoulder pain during sneezing is likely due to temporary muscle strain from coughing, which is reassuring since you have no breathing difficulties. To relieve a dry cough, you can use a cough suppressant like dextromethorphan, or an expectorant like guaifenesin for a wet cough. For the muscle pain, an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen or a pain reliever like acetaminophen can help. Please rest and drink plenty of fluids. If you develop difficulty breathing, worsening chest pain, or a high fever, please consult a doctor in person for a proper evaluation.
