View allI've been dealing with this dry cough for 25 days and now I'm starting to feel pain in my chest whenever I cough. My breathing's gotten faster too, especially at night - the cough is so bad that I can't even sleep. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
Coughing can inflame lungs and air passages, leading to chest tightness. This symptom should improve when the cough clears up

Hey, I hope you can help me out here. I recently moved from Kolkata to Assam, and I'm having a tough time finding the medications I've been prescribed. I used to take Digihaler FB200, Cilapam LS, and Clonil 10 in Kolkata, but none of the pharmacies around here seem to stock them. Can you suggest any alternatives with the same ingredients? Im quite worried because I need to continue my treatment without interruption.
instead of digihaler, use foracort inhaler . rest ask for the same medicine
