A member asked:
I tried to stop myself from coughing and feels like i pulled something on my right side. it's hurts to take a deep breath. do i need to see dr.?

No: If it's a simple strain / sprain of an intercostal muscle (which is what it sounds like) some Tylenol (acetaminophen) and ICE/HEAT will diminish pain in the next 24-48 hours! Hope this helps! Dr Z
