What Causes Severe Pain In Right Rib While Coughing With History Of Having Bronchitis?
Hi after having bronchitis, sinus infection, and asthma for 6 weeks. Been on steroids, inhalers, and antibiotics and finished all except inhalers that I m still taking. My right rib is very painful only when I cough, its not broken or not a pulled muscle I believe due to the fact I went golfing g today. No pain unless I cough. Also during week 2 of this all no pneumonia hospital took xray. I don t smoke. What s wrong with me?

This pain is due to sprain of inter costalmuscle. Inhaler you have to continue, till such time your asthma is under control. you should consult a chest physician who can guide you in your day today treatment.You can take syrup bronchodyl. Should avoid any known allergen. it can be food drink or any other thing in house like a pet or pollen in surrounding. atmospheric pollution is also a contributing factor.
