What Could Painful Ribs After Blowing Nose Too Hard Indicate?

I am a 52 year old female. I had a cold and cough for a couple of weeks. I blew my nose really hard. I
now have pain on my upper left side under my rib cage just below my left breast. It is sore to touch and hurts
when I sneeze, cough, take a deep breath, hiccup, laugh or move suddenly. What could this be?

Hi and thank you for your question.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
Since you had cold and cough for a couple of week,this has resulted in muscle strain especially in chest muscles.
Every sneezing,coughing,blowing nose to hard affects chest muscles and give pain.
You dont have to worry about this since is normal after cold and violent cough and requires a bit time for chest muscles to recuperate.
I hope my opinion is a help to you.
Wish you good health.
