I'm experiencing a bit of a strange sensationwhenever I cough, I feel a slight pain in my chest bone. It's not with every cough, just sometimes. I don't have any allergies and I don't smoke or drink, so I'm really puzzled about what's causing this. Could you shed some light on it?

it might due to muscle streching during coughing

My sister's been dealing with a dry cough for the last couple of days, and she's been taking Benadryl dry cough syrup, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Should we try something else, or do you think we should give the syrup more time to work? Is there anything else we can do to ease her discomfort?

Continue to take Benadryl, and consider starting a course of antibiotics if her cough is accompanied with fever. You may also try some antihistamines to help with any allergic component of her symptoms.

caffeine has the capacity to inhibit the metabolism of warfarin and enhance its plasma concentration and hence act as a natural blood thinner
