So I've had this awful cough for a few weeks, I chalked it up to being a smokers cough since I don't have a fever or anything. But for about a week not I've been getting really sharp pains in my upper ribcage just under and to the left of my left breast. It doesn't feel like a pulled muscle because no amount of massaging or heat or ice treatment has worked and it's gradually becoming worse. No bruising or noticable swelling, and when I put slight pressure on it it hurts (I've only done this when it hurts really bad and I hold it). Is it more likely a cracked/bruised rib, or a pulled muscle? And how do I make it hurt less bc I still have my cough?
