How Can cough And Pain Below The Breast Be Treated?
I just got over a bad cold and I coughed quite a bit during my cold. Anyhow, my cough is gone but I feel a pain under my breast and near my rib when I take a deep breath or when I am lying down and I move to the left or right, the discomfort is there. It feels like an air pocket. I went to Urgent Care and they said there are muscles in that area that have been strained due to coughing. When will it go away? Thank you
