Pain on the left side rib while coughing

2021-12-15 13:14:02
I am taking medication for cough that resulted from allergies for the past three months. I still have mild cough from time to time. Since yesterday I have been noticing mild sharp pain on the left rib area while coughing. Is this just muscle stiffness or do I need to seek medical attention?
