Extreme rib pain

Question

Extreme rib pain

Asked for Female, 21 Years

My girlfriend has been sick for the last month. She started working at a day care at the beginning of December and started getting sick her third day. She finally went to see a dr. A little after New Years And was prescribed antibiotics for her symptoms. She started feeling better until a few days ago when she started coughing so hard that her ribs hurt. She has been doubled over in pain for the last 3 days in tears. Took her to the eye and they gave her hydrocodone homotropine syrup to help
