question: Yes. 1 month ago I was diagnosed with pneumonia, for which I was given 3 rounds of antibiotics. The last time I saw the doctor was 2 weeks ago during which time I was diagnosed with pleurisy. Since then my chest, back, and sides have been hurting whether I am breathing or holding my breath. I have also had some numbness on my right side near my ribcage. Also, tonight I coughed up thick white phlegm that tastes really bad. I haven t eaten any dairy products within the last 3 days to waive the possibility of it s causing the consistency of the phlegm. What is going on with me?
