HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Persistent coughing can result in pain in the muscles and other soft tissues in the chest. It can also cause discomfort in the throat.
You can use an oral anti inflammatory pain killer to help relieve the pain that you are experiencing.
This includes medications such as ibuprofen, cataflam, voltaren, naproxen.
One of these can be used, it should be available over the counter and should be used on a full stomach.
I hope this helps
