Is The Pain In Left Leg Due To Cough Or From Keeping Laptop On The Lap?
I have been sick for nearly 3 weeks starting with headache and throat pain. Now the only thing that remains is lots of mucous leaving my system and coughing. Yesterday i was on my laptop for a long period of time. I sit with my laptop on my lap. Now my left leg hurts when i cough and walk. Is the aching from my cold or from the laptop?

One day is very little time to comment about nature of the pain so i would request you to wait for some more days. Pain in leg in coughing and sneezing is sign of Disc herniation and nerve compression. If it persist for more then a week then we have to do MRI to confirm the diagnosis.
Till that time avoid forward bending or lifting heavy weight. Take Brufen for pain relief.
