What Causes Severe Pain In The Chest After Coughing Hard?

I have had bad cold with a lot of coughing for about a week. The coughing subsided, but woke up this morning with horrible pain in my right chest, right armpit, right shoulder blade. Its a constant pain that feels like starts under right breast and somewhat feels like a strained muscle, but this pain is unbearable. I am a 44 year old woman

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 painibuprofen for five days prescribed. 


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
