What Causes Pain In Rib And Chest Along With Sinus Blockage?
I have been sick for a while. And have been to the Dr. I still have not gotten better sinus blockage, sneezing runny nose coughing and now I have a sharp stabbing pain in my left rib that is in my back through my chest. The pain is so terrible when I cough or sneeze. Is this something to worry about?

Hello,
The pain in the rib can be a strained muscle due to the coughing. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation. I also suggest using saline nasal spray to relieve the sinus blockage. If the symptoms continue, you should take a cycle of antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
