What Causes Pain In The Neck And Shoulders Upon Coughing?
I was put on Augmentin 10/28 for a sinus infection, also received a flu shot. For the past week, I ve had nasal congestion and a cough. Friday afternoon, it started hurting in my neck and shoulders when I would cough and then spread to my ribs when I would cough or sneeze. I ve not had any fever
As a first line management you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan to rule out spine related problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
