Suggest Treatment For Continuous Heavy Cough And Chest Pain

I'm having chest pains from a continuous heavy coughing...
Every time before I cough, its as if some form of gas builds up
in my respiratory system and it becomes inevitable not cough.
Say, if I gargle warm water with salt, I feel a form of relief but
only for about an hour before I start having a deep cough accompanied
by chest pains. At one point I was coughing out Phlegm (some green stuff).
I need help ...

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Coughing can cause straining to ribs and intercostal muscles.
So chest pain is common after vigorous coughing.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid movements causing pain.
2. Take levocetrizine tablet twice daily.
3. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
4. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
5. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
