A doctor has provided 1 answer
Costochondritis: Frequently, the act of coughing can cause small muscle strains in the muscles which hold your ribs together. This is called costochondritis and it can be painful. Try to alleviate the cough using saline nasal washes, antitussives and sleeping with additional pillows under your head. Use Ibuprofen for pain relief and antiinflammatory effects.
