I've had a bad cold for almost a week. i'm now having pain on my lower right rib cage ever time i cough.. which is all the time right now.. broken?

See doctor: There is no way to tell if a rib is broken over the internet. Could be a pulled muscle, pleurisy, or pneumonia also so you need to see a doctor
