What kind of virus causes pain in the right side when breathing?!
Question: also fever and chills? I have never had anything like this before. I am having extreme pain under my rib cage on my right side when trying to take a breath. Can't lay down because it is too painful. My son has had it and passed it to me. When my son first came down with it we even thought it was appendicitis at first because he was in so much pain. Obviously it is a virus since now I have it, but it causes EXTREME pain, what could this be? Also, I am pregnant and really worried, I already went to the doctor (and so did my son) and was told it was a virus, but thats all they could tell me.

There is no specific virus, but, you are suffering from "costochondritis or pleurisy." It is an inflammation of the ribs or the pleural lining of the lung that sometimes goes along with a viral upper respiratory infection.
Heat to the area, Ibuprofen and Mom's chicken soup is all that is needed!
sounds like pleurisy or Pneumonia
tuberculosis
Thats how I felt when I had mono. It was a swollen spleen I think. Lots of liquids and sleepsleepsleep. You should get your blood taken at the hospital and have them test for it. Doctors don't really know much.
Unfortunately you have to wait it out. They really can't do much for a viral infection. Relax and take it easy.
There is a nasty virus going around, I just got over it.
And that is all anyone can tell you with out a full battery of test.
A deadly and lethal virus known as....
a G.A.S.
It sounds like you have an infection of the lining of the lungs,it caused by a virus but I can't say what its name is,but since you are pregnant I would be careful it and take all your meds.Sleeping elevated may help until you are better.
