I'm a bit worried because I've had a dry cough for about a week, and now the right side of my back is swollen. I went to the doctor, and she said the swelling is from the cough and it's nothing serious. The swelling has gone down, but I'm still feeling a little pain around my right rib area. Should I be concerned about this lingering pain? Could it be something more than just from the cough?

I've been dealing with a sore throat and a mild cold for a couple of days now and thought I should take Cheston Cold Total, which seemed to help a bit. But it's been over two days, and I'm still not feeling 100%. Is there anything else I should consider taking or doing to feel better? Any advice would be appreciated.
