[|Human|] i have had a dry cough for about over a month didnt think anything of it and i just started having an upper left rib pain hurts to inhale, exhale, cough, laugh, bend over, and pretty much move in any way shape form i am wondering what causes this and what i might have concerning the cough?
[|AI|]  Thanks for asking your question completely understand your problem this type of chest pain which is catchy on inspiration, expiration and coughing is usually seen in pleural diseases like effusion, and lower resp tract infection, tuberculosis.u need to consult a pulmonologist, who can request for a chest X-ray and some more investigations to rule out other organic diseases.for mow you ban get a syrup with dextromethorphan which can suppress the cough after consulting a pulmonologistthanks/regards feel free to ask more questions may god bless you with good health
