Well because of continous cough it starts pain because normally we don't exercise and extra abdominal n accessay muscle of the chest are not in use and when while in coughing these muscles are in action.
Now cough is a protective mechanism any irritant is cough out when muscle strain it hurts on coughing and in order to prevent pain to happen we try to force resisting cough.than secretion are retain and not cough up.and leads to problem
So along with antibiotic good and strong analgesic should be taken along with cough syp and continue nebulization
