Musculoskeletal...: Your pain is likely musculoskeletal and it should resolve once the cough stops. Possible etiologies of your cough include bronchospasm from any cause, gerd, post-nasal drip or a combination of factors. These all have different treatments so see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment, especially if the cough is worsening.
