Chest pain when coughing is a clinical symptom of pleurisy caused by a cold. Pleurisy, also known as pleurisy, is an inflammation of the pleura. Pleurisy is an inflammation of the pleura caused by irritation of the pleura by pathogenic factors (usually viruses or bacteria). There may be fluid accumulation in the chest cavity (exudative pleurisy) or no fluid accumulation (dry pleurisy). After the inflammation subsides, the pleura may return to normal, or the two layers of pleura may adhere to each other.

Home care tips:

The caregiver should remain calm and the patient's room should be quiet to relieve his or her anxiety.

Ask the patient to assume the side-lying position with the painful area facing downward and minimize movement of the affected side.

For patients with persistent severe pain, accompanied by breathing difficulties and affected sleep, painkillers or sedatives may be used as appropriate. In the late stages of cancer-induced chest pain, anesthetics can be used intermittently (with the principle of non-addiction). People who have difficulty breathing often need to be given oxygen.
