Hi,
Your main problem is coughing which is here causing your rib pain.
But instead of just giving ultram- tramadol an analgesic drug,you should be treated thoroughly for the underlying cause.
As you have already asthma and must be taking treatment for that.Cough could be due to acute bronchitis, allergic bronchitis or upper respiratory infection etc.
You may undergo routine blood investigation with sputum tests and X- ray chest to rule out any other pathology of lung.
You will require full course of antibiotics (quinolones or cephalosporins) with antiinflammatory and antiallergic (antihistamines or steroids) with supportive treatment.
Consult pulmonologist for further advise.
