What Causes Soreness In The Back And Abdomen While Having Common Cold?

Yesterday, my husband all the sudden came down with a cold, sneezing, runny nose, sometimes congested, coughing up yellow mucus and now his back is also sore on both sides where his kidneys are. Are these all symptoms of just a cold or should he go see his doctor?

Ok, productive cough is often a reason to see the doctor to evaluate for a potentially serious lung infection. The pain from lung infection can occur in many places for many reasons. Generalized pain from inflammation would imply a more serious infection than a common nose cold. Couging from anything, even very minor things, frequeently pulls back muscles. It is unlikely to be serious., but I cannot say in your particular case.
