Absolutely! When you cough over and over again and it is such a strong, deep cough, you use the muscles in your chest, sides and back. I even threw my back out once when I had bronchitis. Advil or Tylenol help with the soreness. You are basically giving these muscles a serious workout. It's not the most comfortable way to work your abs, obliques and back muscles but at least there is something positive from being sick.
Try taking Musinex to loosen up your chest and make it easier to cough the mucus up. That way you won't strain your muscles as much.
I hope you get better soon!

Absolutely, ribs, chest, back, stomach.....I've even had my head and neck hurt from coughing so much with bronchitis or mycoplasmic pneumonia. Also, a friend of mine coughed so much she actually separated a rib.....When you force so much air in and out of your lungs, it stretches those tendons between your ribs....They can even be sore a few days after you quit coughing, too.

Yes, I have had this happen. If it gets worse you need to see a doctor and ask for a subscription strength cough medicine.
