Hi,
The cause of pain below your rib cage left side could be possible pressure you put while sneezing or/and coughing.
I'd suggest to take ibuprofen or paracetamol to ease the pain and inflammation of you throat.
Furthermore, if your symptoms will worsen, you should seek consultation with your physician for further physical evaluation.
All the best!
