What Causes Pain Following Pop Sensation While Coughing?
Have been on antibiotics for cough and have suffered torn intercostal muscle on both left and right side. This morning while coughing there was a pop sensation followed by excruciating pain. Can not move or breathe deep without intense pain. Popped rib cartilage or cracked rib?

Hi welcome to health care magic . After going through your query I think there is severe lung infection causing intense pain. I don't think there is rib fracture. You need to consult physician for treatment. Hope your query has been answered . Thanks.
