What Causes Severe Pain Under Rib Cage During Coughing Or Sneezing?
I have had a tearing pain..under right ribcage when coughing or sneezing! It hurts so bad that I yell out in pain. I can move certain ways, but, not forward. It feels like an abscess when I cough or sneeze. I have SLE and Fibromyalgia never had this symptom before.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a muscle strain which can be related to the cough. I suggest using a cough suppressant to relieve the cough. I also suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. Warm compresses can also be very helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
