RE: Wierd Pains
Thank you for your quick response.

Thank you for visiting health24.com.
You sound like a young, healthy individual. The pain that you are experiencing are A-typical and I am not sure what the cause is. I suggest that you have a chest x-ray done to exclude any underlying pathology. Your pains can merely be costo-condritis, which is a benign inflammation of the ribs and cartlidge of the chest wall.
You should consult a GP, regarding your chronic cough, to exclude sinusitis with a chronic post-nasal drip.
Please let me know about the outcome.
Kind regards
Dr Anrich Burger
