Brief Answer:
Get done chest x ray.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your husband's situation and problem.
Since he is having wet cough with back pain, we need to rule out lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) first.
So better to consult doctor and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray.
Chest x ray is needed to rule out LRTI.
He may need antibiotics too.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing good health to your husband.
Thanks.
