A member asked:

What to do if i have pain in my kidneys when i cough or blow my nose?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Pain: Not the kidneys. Pain is most likely from back and paraspinous muscle splinting or spasm. drink a lot of clear fluids, take antitussives, hot baths/showers, whirlpool.

Dr Cremers agreed

Muscle: What you describe is most likely a muscle pull in your back that is aggravated by sneezing. Ask you doctor to be sure.
