Answers:
I worked for a medical practice for many yrs. When people cough a lot for periods of time, their chest MUSCLES hurt. Sometimes these types of infections need to be treated a couple of times before they finally go away. I would phone my physician office for advice. I seriously doubt you have lung cancer. I should know, I DO have cancer and you do not sound like me at all. Relax for tonight, try sleeping with your head propped up a little, and have a glass of water by your bedside for use during coughing fits. Ring the Dr in the a.m.
