Hello,
Your repeated coughing seems to have caused muscle pull of your left abdominal muscles.
There is nothing to worry and do the following....
Don't lift heavy weights
Give local heat by heating pads.
May take some muscle relaxant like DICLOFENAC MR or FLEXON MR for couple of days,but after talking to your doctor and under his guidance.
I hope it helps.
Thanks
