Suggest Treatment For Lower Ribcage Pain Caused By Acute Coughing

I had acute bronchitis for a couple of weeks, and from all the coughing I seem to have strained my left lower rib cage or the surrounding muscles. This is not affecting my breathing and is very low, near my waist. Lying flat in bed seems to make it worse, as does moving into certain positions or using my left arm to lift anything fairly heavy.
