question: I started coughing a day after me and my friends had a sleepover and about 3 weeks in I had terrible back and chest pain so I went to the doctor who gave me an inhaler to clear the airway but it hadn t worked so I was just told it was a virus that wouldn t go, but 6 weeks of having a bark like cough I had pain at the top of my bottom, when I sat down/lay down it hurt but getting up afterwards is more painful. When I cough its like a 30 second fit .so I was given antibiotics for a week but I have had this cough for 8 weeks now and It wont go!!
