<s>[INST] hi gud day doc.i had this right paracardiac pneumonia last nov.27 2013..and i undergone treatment for 2 weeks... after that.im not able to comeback in the hospital for further check up...about my illness....but every now and then im suffering backpain and chestpain...but i also had an asthmatic condition...how can you help me ... [/INST] hello and welcome to ‘ask a doctor’ service. i have reviewed your query and here is my advice. in my opinion, you should definitely consult pulmonologist for this pain. you will need a chest x-ray and pft (pulmonary function test). a chest x-ray is needed to rule out recurrence of pneumonia because this can also cause similar kind of pain. pft is needed to know the severity of asthma. you may need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ics) (budesonide or fluticasone). don't worry, you will be alright with all these. hope i have solved your query. i will be happy to help you further. wish you good health. thanks. </s>
