Brief Answer:
you need to take care of cough
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think you are having spasm of your back muscles. This can be due to sudden weight lifting or sudden bending. Because of your cough these muscles are getting continuous strain.
I have following advised to you.
1. Get a chest x ray and if their is any infection, start antibiotics for it.
2. Stop smoking if you do.
3. Avoid travelling, sudden bending, weight lifting.
4.Hot water fomentation will help you.
5.You can take muscle relaxant like Myoril or Myospaz. Volitran ointment can also helpful.
I hope these steps will help you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
Thanks
