What Causes Severe Pain In Right Rib While Coughing With History Of Having Bronchitis?

Hi after having bronchitis, sinus infection, and asthma for 6 weeks. Been on steroids, inhalers, and antibiotics and finished all except inhalers that I m still taking. My right rib is very painful only when I cough, its not broken or not a pulled muscle I believe due to the fact I went golfing g today. No pain unless I cough. Also during week 2 of this all no pneumonia hospital took xray. I don t smoke. What s wrong with me?
