Hi, i have been coughing for 6 weeks and producing yellow phlegm. rib pain has started a few days ago, it's swollen.

Cough: You need to see your doctor and get a chest xray. Maybe bronchitis, pneumonia or cough asthma. See the doctor soon. For the rib warm compresses and ibuprofen may help but with the coughing there is a small chance you may have a fracture
