What Causes Rib Cage Pain While Having Bronchitis?

Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with microplasm/bronchitis. I suffered with severe cough. X-rays were taken. One week ago I returned because of cough and severe pain in rib area when coughing and/or moving. I was re xrayed and given strong cough syrup. I have rested better. However the soreness had not gone away and at times is worse. Should I go back to the dr.?
