Last week my chest started feeling tight (possibly after exposure to pesticides used to expel cockroaches in my halls of residence). The only other symptoms I’ve had are a sore throat, wheezing when I cough (even though I haven’t felt the need to cough really), and back pain.
I went to the doctor yesterday and was told I have a virus, which is exacerbated by allergens in the air, and prescribed an antihistamine and some solution for gargling.
I’ve read about acute bronchitis sometimes being caused by irritants - is it possible the virus the doctor mentioned is bronchitis?
