You : You might have bronchitis or pneumonia so go see a dcotor. The pain in the ribs could be stress from coughing too much but if you cough hard eneugh, you can cause a stress fracture.

See doctor.: Agree with Dr. S. Coughing severe enough to have potentially fractured a rib needs to be evaluated by a doctor. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex,. Wish you good health!
