Pleurtic Pain: Forcefully coughing for your chest/back/ abdominal muscles is like going to the gym and working muscle groups that you don't typically use in that manner. This results in them becoming sore and being uncomfortable when they are used to breathe. If not contraindicated you can use over the counter analgesics like Ibuprofen or acetominophen and that usually helps until the coughing resolves.
