What are the possible causes of pain in abdomen while coughing?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Lower respiratory tract infections can affect the airways and structures below the voice box, including the lungs and bronchial tubes. Common lower respiratory tract infections include bronchitis and pneumonia. Symptoms of lower respiratory tract infections can vary but often have the following symptoms:

1. Severe coughing, sometimes with thick or colored mucus (sputum).

2. Breathlessness or difficulty breathing, especially with exertion.

3. Chest pain or discomfort that may worsen with coughing or deep breathing.

4. Fever, chills, and body aches.

5. Fatigue and weakness.

6. Wheezing or rattling sound in the chest.

Lower respiratory tract infections can affect anyone, but certain factors may increase the risk, including:

1. Young children and older adults, whose immune systems may be weaker.

2. Individuals with underlying health conditions such as asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), or heart disease.

3. Smokers or individuals exposed to secondhand smoke.

4. People with compromised immune systems due to conditions like HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) or AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency virus) or undergoing chemotherapy.

Your symptoms of severe coughing with sputum production and breathlessness are indeed significant symptoms of lower respiratory tract infections, particularly bronchitis or pneumonia. You should seek medical attention if you are experiencing these symptoms, especially if they are severe or worsening. Your healthcare provider can evaluate your symptoms, perform necessary tests such as chest X-rays or laboratory tests, and recommend appropriate treatment, including rest, hydration, over-the-counter or prescription medications, and, in severe cases, hospitalization.

Prompt medical attention is crucial, especially if you are experiencing severe symptoms or if you have underlying health conditions that may increase the risk of complications.

I hope this information will help you.

Do revert in case of any further queries.

Thank you.
