Can a bad cough cause your ribs to hurt?

If you cough enough to make your ribs sore, a doctor's appointment is necessary to determine the cause, as you may break your ribs if it continues. If your cough is productive = you cough up phlegm, then do not take cough suppressant medication and be sure not to swallow the phlegm. An expectorant will help. If you have a dry cough = no phlegm, then a cough suppressant (antitussive) will do you wonders. However, most OTC products are ineffective, so get a prescription or ask your pharmacist for something with codeine. Alternatively, dark chocolate 100g or over can be very effective.
