How Can Bronchitis And Chronic Cough Be Treated?
I recently had bronchitis and have a lingering cough . On Friday night during a couching fit I had a sharp pain on the side of my right rib cage. It has been sore ever sense. It hurts when I cough, sneeze , twist or lift something heavy. It also hurts to lay on that side. When I cough I have to hold my side to ease the pain. Should I go to the doctor?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you must see a doctor.
Take medication to suppress cough and prevent further complications.
You have injured your rib muscles while coughing severely.
This will not heal unless you stop coughing for a few days at least.
Take care,
Regards
