Post Viral : After coughing for a period of time, the rib cage muscles may become sore. Musculoskeletal pain may be treated with local heat and Ibuprofen. If there is recurrent or persistent infection, please see your physician for worsening fever or cough. Drink fluids,rest and if the cough lingers for more than two weeks, please see your physician.
