Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Well yes that could be one of the possibility. But I need to know whether your Cough is still present or it has stopped , if it has stopped since how many days it has stopped ?

Also let me know where you have the pain ? lower left side of Abdomen or back ?

Does the pain increases after eating food ?
Do you have any pain or burning sensation while passing urine?
Any constipation?
Any Vaginal discharge or bleed ?

Kindly let me know these details .

Regards.

HI

Well if you still cough more then it could just be muscular spasm causing the pain . You can wait for few more days , once the cough stops the pain also shall get relieved .

But if in case the pain persists even after 2-3 days inspite of cough subsiding then you need to get an ultrasound abdomen pelvis scan done.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
