Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, it is most likely a strain of the muscles that may have occurred when you had a coughing fit. If the ibuprofen is not helping you then you can may also need a muscle relaxant, this would help if the muscles have gone into spasm.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
