What can I do for a pulled chest muscle? I'm recovering from Pertussis (whooping cough)?


My chest has been hurting on the left by my heart for 7 weeks. Everytime I breathe in and cough... I'm over it! Chest x-ray showed no rib fractures. They call it the 100 day cough...I'm going into 4 months!

Just take it easy and be patient. In due time it will heal. Hope you will feel better soon.

just give it time, it'll heal

I had whooping cough as well, and I know your pain. The best thing to do is not make the situation worse by rubbing it/massaging it. And of course don't overwork it with strenous exercise. I took a couple tylenol each day until the pain was tolerable enough to play in. And I play high school football. That chest muscle is tough to recover from. Good luck.

Regina Here a big news for you!...

~If it really is whooping cough and not 100 day cough, sue your parents for neglect for failing to have you immunized as an infant. Or, if they skipped the MMR/DPT/HiB series for religious reasons, pray your lungs out. By the way, if your doctor told you you had the 100 day cough, take a nice orange sauce with you the next time you see him because he's a quack. There is no such thing.
