What Causes Severe Pain In The Chest After Coughing Hard?
Hello, Excess cough can lead to muscular strain pain. Rule out the underlying cause for cough by auscultation and chest x-ray according to need. If everything okay, then for dry cough dextromethorphan containing syrup prescribed. For muscular pain, ibuprofen for five days prescribed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Parth Goswami
