What Causes Sharp Pain Around The Navel While Having Persistent Cough?

I am recovering from an almost 4 week bout of bronchitis, and still have the post viral cough. Now, when I cough, sneeze, or sit up from a reclined position it causes me a sharp pain just below my bellybutton. Could I have a hernia, pulled muscle, or something else?
