Does Dry Cough With Severe Pain In Upper Abdomen Suggest Injury To Liver?
I have been coughing a dry hacking cough for the past 2 weeks. The other night while in bed, I must have moved wrong while coughing and felt a huge pain in my rt upper abdomen. Could I have injured my liver? It has ached persistently for the past couple days, and i feel some slight relief when taking ibuprofen for that pain.

Brief answer
Chest infection with muscle spasm
Detailed answer
you are having cough since last 2 weeks that's a matter of concern
in my opinion you have contracted some chest infection and subsequently developed cough
so due to continue coughing you might have developed local muscle spasm
i would suggest you first to get evaluated for chronic cough
your liver must be alright i am sure
Hope this will help you
