Suggest Remedy For Respiratory Infection

i was just getting over an upper respiratory infection and i developed a really bad dry cough. i cough so hard that at times i either, gag and almost throw up, i become dizzy and almost pass out , and during both types of coughs my rib cage (especially my right side under my breast) has excruciating pain to the point that i can barely move, it is very sore to the touch and breathing, yawning, coughing, sneezing, anything to do with air going into my body and any movements that require twisting are very painful to me. Could i have fractured or broken a rib with my severe cough? it feels as if my rib popped out of the socket.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that this could be allergic cough and if this is very severe then in my opinion x-ray chest and blood count is must, right now you can have the cough suppressant till you get the investigation done, hope this information helps you, take care and have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
