A member asked:

I have the cough and flu for over a month now and when i cough and sneeze i have a pain on my left side ribs under my breast what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pleurisy: Viral illness can cause inflammation in the lining of the lung which can cause rib pain. Alternatively, you could have coughed hard enough to sprain the ribs. Either way, it can take 4 weeks for the pain to subside.
