Suggest Treatment For Painful Cough
Hi I ve got a bad cough, it started quite suddenly a couple of days ago and not sure where I got it from but now when I cough it is painful, about where I think my left kidney is (also if I need to go to toilet and strain it hurts in the same place) could I have pulled a muscle or bruised something? Thank you

Hello,
The pain that you are facing is due to aggressive and violent cough that you are facing. It is only a muscle pull so please apply ice pack locally. It will get better. Yet, for cough please take steam inhalation and get a chest X-ray PA view done unless you are or you had fever in the recent past.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
