Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Coughing causes straining to ribs and intercostal muscles.
So excessive coughing can cause musculoskeletal pain.
So do following things for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.
1. Avoid movements causing pain.
2. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
3. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
4. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
