I've been dealing with some worrying symptoms lately. I had typhoid recently, and also a really long-lasting cough, but now I'm experiencing sharp pain in my chest. It's strange because the pain shifts aroundsometimes it's on the right, sometimes in the center, and other times just below my neck on the left side. When I press these spots, it hurts even more. Do you have any idea what could be causing this or what I should do next?

Possible Causes: a. Musculoskeletal pain due to coughing. b. Pleuritic pain or inflammation of the chest lining. c. Less likely, but consider post-typhoid complications.

Immediate Actions: a. Rest and avoid activities that exacerbate the pain. b. Use over-the-counter pain relief like ibuprofen if not contraindicated.

When to Seek Medical Attention: a. If pain persists or worsens. b. If you experience difficulty breathing, fever, or other concerning symptoms.

Next Steps: a. Schedule a visit with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. b. Consider a chest X-ray or further tests if recommended by your doctor.
