What Causes Pain In Rib Cage When I Cough?

37 year old female, petite frame 5'1. I am asthmatic, and on inhalers. I am 28 weeks pregnant. I have been coughing due to viral illness for about a month. I have pain when I cough, sneeze, twist and move under my right rib cage. It is very tender to touch the ribs on my back under my shoulder blade. I also feel a little popping when I cough or sneeze in the same area in the lower ribs under my shoulder blade. I have been using ice packs and heat, also Tylenol for pain. Any suggestions?
