The rib cage that contains your lungs and other structures is enclosed by the diaphram and the ribs. The ribs have muscles between the hat can be strained when you cough violently. I suspect that you have pulled a muscle. Wait a few days and see if the pain lessens and goes away.

A cough requires your diaphragm (between your chest and abdomen) to contract. This can cause back discomfort if your spine is unhealthy or twisted because it is the base attaching to your diaphragm. A massage or manipulation may help your cough and back pain. Osteopathic and musculoskeletal physicians could help you with these concerns as well as medically evaluate your cough.
