Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have lower right back pain while coughing. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like arthritis , infection in the spine , pinched nerve in the back , muscle spasm or kidney infection. I would suggest you to apply warm compresses on back , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and take proper rest . Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan along with physical examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory and recommend physical therapy . Doctor may also refer you to nephrologist for kidney problem .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
