Avoid smoking and use warm liquids, lozenges, and steam inhalation if you have a cough with throat and chest pain. These symptoms can be caused by an infection or inflammation of the airways. If necessary, a doctor may prescribe antibiotics, bronchodilators, or cough syrup,?avoid using strong medications on your own. See a doctor right away if the discomfort is severe, lasts longer than a few days, or you have a fever or dyspnea.
