What might i do to go about coughing with a muscle pulled in my chest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pillow.....: Sometimes, if you put a pillow over your chest wall where the pain is, it lessens the muscle pain and allows for you to cough. There are many etioligies for this chest pain including cartilage inflammation, muscle strain, rib fracture, etc. If the pain persists, see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
