Suggest Remedy For Violent Sniffling & Sneezing?

Last week I had a sever allergy attack. Sniffling and sneezing violently for 2-3 days. On the final day I was so tired I just layed on the couch the whole day. A few times I had stifled what May have been big sneezes which caused some pains. The following day my allergies where fine but it felt like someone kicked me right in the ribs. The pain isn t as bad as the first day but if I sniffle or sneeze or turn certain ways the pain comes back quick. Feels like bruised ribs. Is that possible? Or could there be something else I should think of?

Yes violent coughing or sneezing can cause bruised ribs which can be very painful. At times there may be a crack in the ribs. However it will heal gradually over a period of time. You may take a pain killer if the pain is unbearable.
