General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
You have a specific problem. You have a pain that has developed after cough of 3 weeks duration.
The pain after such an attack in the groin, feeling like pulling down can be due to development of a hernia or enlargement of the preexisting hernia.
I would advise you to get the abdomen examined by a General Surgeon to rule out or confirm the diagnosis and get operated if this is a hernia after the coughing has completely settled.
In the meantime continue the medicines for your respiratory problems, take steam inhalations, multivitamins, get investigated for routine so that a fitness is achieved for anesthesia and surgery.
