Brief Answer:
Allergic cough. Needs symptomatic remedies.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Aggressive cough on breathing in is likely a dry allergic cough and that severe cough causes this pain spikes around and that is causing all the squeeze and weakness in the body.

If you are not febrile, no phlegm or any exposure to pulmonary illness or no prior history of asthma or any other COPD then you don't even need a doctor evaluation right now but there is no harm in getting tested like a simple chest x ray , blood work up and throat examination.

Use some home remedies meanwhile, like salt water gargles. use one tablespoon salt with 8 ounces of warm water and gargle every 4th hour. Drink warm comforting beverages like green tea or herbal tea mixed with honey. Use humidifier in your room, avoid dust or allergens that triggers your cough. Take some tylenol or ibuprofen for the pain. Talk to an internist and let them help you in this regard.

i hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
