What Is The Treatment For Cough And Pain In The Rib Cage?

Due to alleregies, and change in weather I developed a strong cough and more sneezing than normal. I developed a very intese pain with each cough or sneeze under the right rib cage. I visited the er was advised I strained my muscle. That was 5 days ago, the pain medicine helped for a while but the pain remains. How long does it take to recover and when should I make an appointment to follow up? Also taking prescription medicine for the allergies and cough at this time.

Respected user , Hi

Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .

* The pain is in relation with irritation of underlying parietal pleura through
coughing .

* Takes time according to the load of the pathology and extent of
bronchitis or other lung insult .
* Suggestions for better outcome

- Continue current medicines .
- Inhalation of vapors of boiled water with added tincture benzoin or
karvol capsules morning and evening for 5 min. each with blanket
covered over head helps tremendously .
- Avoid smoking ( active or passive )
- Deep breathing exercises , YOGA recover faster .
- Follow up with doctor after medicines are over .

Hope this helps you .
Welcome for any future doubts .

Regards dear .
