most individual experience abdominal pain at same point. That's because while coughing the muscle of the abdomen undergo a sudden contraction .. when the cough is repeated can lead to temporary tear of muscle fibre, to prevent further damage get treated for cough , and keep your plan pressed at the spot where pain occurs ..this is not at all a serious condition but due to the pressure excreted while coughing , it can latter may lead to abdominal wall weakness I.e called hernia in medical term.
