bad cough

[dinnydonnydo]

Hello, i've had a bad cough for about a week now. on monday morning i woke up with a severe pain on the side of my chest. i went to the doctor who said it was a virus, she listened to my chest and said it was clear.
since then the pain has moved to my back, shoulder and to the front of my shoulders (not quite sure how to describe where it is exactly)
Im going to go back to doc's tomorrow but does anyone know what it could be. could i have pulled a muscle?

dinny....sounds as though your violent attempts at coughing have indeed strained your chest and back muscles. Buy some Panadol or NSAID's which should alleviate you pain.
