HI.Lower abdominal pain on left side needs to be evaluated for Colitis/Left Ureteric colic . If the pain is associated with mucus in stools,it might be large intestinal infection.Cough raises intra abdominal pressure,so you are getting pain .You should exclude Inguinal hernia on left side also as the swelling increases on coughing ,but subsides after lying down.All the best.
