Thanks for query on hcm.
Pain in abdomen is most likely due to muscular sprain.
It might be due to continuous use of muscle with coughing.
Start treatment to control the coughing like levocetrizine/montelukast.
Bronchodilator with ambroxol.
During severe episodes of coughing ,use rotahaler with bronchodilator rotacaps.
You can take oral nsaid to subside pain and also apply nsaid gel locally.
Steam inhalation will be helpful.
Get examined by your doctor for proper diagnosis and medication.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
