<s>[INST] When I take a deep breath my lungs burn at the top and when I cough it feels like fire at the top of my lungs. My ears itch and my cough is productive. My temp is only 98.8 with tylenol but I have been on antibiotics for 2 weeks and a prednisone pack for 6 days. [/INST] Hi thanks for asking question. Pain while breathing could be by pneumonia like condition. Chest x-ray useful for it to search for consolidation... If consolidation seen tuberculosis also has to be ruled out by sputum examination... You can have bronchitis that also can lead pain.x-ray useful for it. You have not mentioned x-ray finding.... If you have asthma case then also by allergen bronchospasm can lead pain...auscultation done to heard rhonchi....Meanwhile, avoid smoking and CBC done.... Take care.... </s>
