hi and thanks for the query,
cough and breathlessness indicate that there is some problem with the lungs.
you will need a chest X Ray and sputum examination.
sharp pain below your ribs may be because of a fractured rib or pleural infection.
When you cough forcefully sometimes the ribs fracture causing pain everytime you cough.
hoarseness of voice is because of excessive coughing.
Regards,
Dr Rajkishori
