Rib pain

I feel terrible, aching,full of cold, shivers etc. I did have a cough for a day , not really coughing now but if I do it's a rattling cough. But my lower ribs are really sore, I'm guessing from the cough but been a few days and no better. Should I be concerned?

I would make an appointment with the dr if the cough continues to rattle. You could visit your pharmacist if you are well enough, to get their advice. I don’t think the painful ribs are anything to worry about if you think they hurt because if the coughing. However, it may be a chest infection and not your ribs which if why I think a trip to the dr is in order if it doesn’t get better.

@haveacat thanks, these things always happen at weekends or bank holidays!
