Tight airway: Would be ideal to see your doctor today for an evaluation. Will be difficult for the doc to determine cause of chest soreness after the sensation has passed (at a future visit). A peak flow measurement and full physical exam will help determine with you're having bronchoconstriction (similar to or because of asthma) secondary to infection and/or irritant exposure. Inhaler medication may help.

Was coughing hard for a long time due to a cold. I am no longer sick, but now my side hurts when coughing and moving in certain ways. Tender if pressed. But it barely hurts when taking a deep breath. No chest pain or bruising. What could it be?
