Suggest Remedy For Upper Respiratory Infection With Tender Ribs

I have been sick since march with uper resp infec. I have been to my primary dr 8 times,eye spec,ear nose & throat doc. 4 times. i have been on amoxacillen,z tabs, cough syrups,ibp,steroid ear drops, & nose drops,had xrays-no bronc,pneum...but i keep coughing,my ribs really hurt-the ear specialist said my ears are healing, both ears were punctured & filled with water.I am starting to hear better,but there is still some wax in the bottom of ears,the Dr. said time will heal this & my primary dr. wants me to get tubes in myh ears....don t know who to believe. Most concerned about my ribs,mostly front & back sides are very tender. I do cough but not all day & not real hard. Tomorrow I am going to buy BUCKLEY cough syrup, it is good for dry dry coughs, it taste awlful but it helps, i used it a long time ago. what else can i do? SORRY I THOUGHT THIS WAS FREE.
