What Causes Pain In Lower Abdomen While Coughing?
I am having a pain in my lower left abdomen when I cough. This commenced a few days into a developing cold, but is now consistently occurring when I cough/sneeze. The area is not sensitive or tense to physical touch. Could this be merely a side effect due to the excessive coughing? Or perhaps something more serious?

U need to get it checked. This can be part of a viral prodrome, cough also being part of it aggravated by the cough or can be something altogether different
