upper left quadrant pulsating pain
I have had a few patients that actually sustained rib fractures from intense coughing. The diagnosis was made with xray test of the ribs. If the xray is negative it could certainly be the muscles that are sore between the ribs. Muskuloskeletal pain can usually be reproduced with palpation or movements. A respiratory infection can also lead to inflammation of the lining of the lungs, pleuritis. Both of these condition usually resolve with time.
