Musculoskeletal pain: Usually associated with pulled muscle or more rarely a rib fracture can hurt with cough, sneeze or deep breathing. Local heat for no more than 20 minutes or simple analgesics like ibuprofen can help. If it becomes more bothersome see your primary care. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
