It is normal to have chest pain while having pneumonia and cough.. But it is not normal to reoccur after being better or with finishing the treatment ..
What medication did you take and for how long?
Do you have a pain during inspiration or expiration?
Hi
It is normal with pneumonia , you seem to have recurrence in diffrent spot , i recommend consulting your doctor
Good Luck
hi
such type of pain is common but should not happen after taking the treatment.
I suggest you to get a repeat Xray chest / HRCT chest to rule out underlying remnant infection.
thanks
