I've been feeling this pain on the left side of my rib, kind of towards the end of one rib. It's been there for a few weeks now. It doesn't bother me when I'm breathing, but I notice it more when I touch it or if I'm moving around a lot at work. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

I'm dealing with a persistent cough for about a week now, along with a stuffy nose, an itchy feeling in my throat, and a lot of sneezing. I also had a fever for a couple of days, but that's gone away. Should I be worried about these symptoms, and is there anything specific I should do to start feeling better?
