Can having the flu cause abdominal cramps and pain in and around the belly button from coughing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Excessive coughing can cause your abdominal muscles to be strained, thus causing the abdominal muscles to hurt. Getting the cough under control will help relieve this over a few days, once the coughing has stopped. Have you tested positive for flu? If so, call your primary care provider to get treatment for the flu-this will decrease your symptoms, including cough. Good luck to you!
