The spectrum of causes for colds, chest pains and coughs is rich. On the one hand, a bacterial trigger can be behind it, which can lead to inflammation of the respiratory organs (pharynx, trachea, larynx, bronchi, lungs, etc.).
A cold means rapid cooling of the organism due to the influence of the outside temperature on the human body. The immune system is weakened and is less able to fight pathogens. This leads to inflammation and internal wounds, which also affects the nervous system. This triggers pain of varying degrees by releasing messenger substances.
Another cause would be allergic reactions of the body to foreign objects from the outside. These would be, for example, chemical pollutants, components in food or psychological stress that can cause symptoms such as chest pain, coughing and hay fever.

In severe cases, where the chest pain is unbearable and shortness of breath occurs, a pulmonologist must be contacted. This will work out strategies for treating the disease with the affected patient. In moderate cases, such as inflammation in the chest, a visit to the family doctor is often sufficient.
