Probably muscular: A cough is a pretty forceful motion. It may be as simple as muscle strain from the energy of the cough. Also, viral illnesses can make you ache all over. However, if you have continued cough or cold symptoms and pain, see your doctor to make sure it's just a cold and not a pneumonia or other illness more complicated than a cold.
