Cough With Phlegm, Pain In Nipple And Armpit

Hello, I am a 25 year old male 5 6, 150 Ibs . I have had this cough with phlegm for about two weeks, the cough has been getting better, however last night my left chest directly lined with my nipple and armpit has been hurting. It is especially agitated when I cough I think I pulled a muscle from coughing or maybe bruised a rib? is this possible?If so what should I do?
