Suffering From Bronchitis, What Is Causing Pain In Lower Back?
Hi. I've had bronchitis for about 2 weeks now. Now I'm experiencing pain in my back on the right side...like at the base of my ribs. Started a couple days ago. It's even tender to touch my back. Can't figure out if it could be related to the horrific coughing or more likely unrelated like a kidney infection? Thanks!

Hi there.
This seems to be clearly related to strain due to coughing.
Treatment:
1. Cough suppressant
2. Steam inhalation.
3. Local heat massage at pain area with analgesic gel application.
4. Painkiller with muscle relaxant medication.
It will heal with time.
I hope my advice has helped
Good luck.
