Lower rib pain from coughing. what could be wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rib Fracture?: Persistent coughing can actually produce a fracture of a rib. If your pain is localized over one spot of a rib and is tender to touch pressure this is a possibility. You should consult you physician to make sure there is no other chest wall problem.
