Chest Sore from coughing....HELP!

.

I'm wondering if it's your gall bladder.
The main symptom is pain in the chest on the right side.
It's very, very painful and actually typical in pregnant women.
And, you might not have a fever with it.
If you absolutely cannot wait because of the pain, go to the ER. A gall bladder attack isn't necessarily life threatening or anything, but they can give you medicine to help.
If you think you can make it until tomorrow, I would try a heating pad.
Also, Vick's vapo rub might give you some relief on your chest as well as help keep your sinuses clear.
I don't know how far along you are in your pregnancy, but if your baby is getting big, part of the discomfort could be from your baby pushing things out of whack a bit.
You have no fever. That's an excellent sign.
If you have been coughing a lot, you might have strained a muscle. When we're pregnant, our bodies go through a thing of preparing for birth and our bones and muscles can really get sore. Think about it...our pelvic bones have to spread so the baby can come out, our muscles are all shifting to accommodate the weight of the baby.
My husband took me to the ER because of pain in my chest. EXCRUCIATNG pain. I'd had a cold and thought it was pneumonia. Because I was pregnant, the very first thing the doctors thought of was my gall bladder.
My cold and bad cough had absolutely nothing to do with what was really wrong.
The point is, there's no need to suffer. Home remedies can be fine, but you don't even know what you're trying to remedy.
If you're screaming in agony, then you have to go to the ER. For sure.
Just in case it could be your gall bladder, I am posting a link for what you can eat to help and avoid to see if it makes a difference until you can be seen.

Please let us know what happens and how you're doing.

When I have a bad cough I put a heating pad on my chest. Perhaps Tylenol you can use instead of aspirin. See what your oby/gyn has to say.
If you have no fever (a good sign) and you have no difficulty breathing I don't think you need any emergency care (and be exposed to all the germs you'll come across in the waiting room). It's possible you coughed hard enough to make your chest muscles ache. Gall bladder/gall stones might also cause some pain in those areas and are the kind of trouble can pop up during pregnancy.

I went in for an asthma attack to get checked out before I could get my allergy injection. They wanted to make sure it wasn't a heart attack or anything. After i got home I started getting chest pains that got stronger and stronger. Everything was closed and I didn't want to go to the ER with my kids in bed and going to school in the morning so I took some Tylenol because I'm allergic to something in Aleve & Ibuprophen and fell asleep. I went back the next day (yesterday becaus ethe chest pains got bad again. The Dr said it was from all of my coughing . She could hear wheezing and said to use my inhaler and take Aleve or Ibuprophen and use a ice pack. She said the ribs go up to the breasts and that's why my back and breasts hurt so bad. Today it is gone. I found that Zyrtec really helps if taken daily but makes you drowsy so I was told that Allegra is better(non-drowsy). If you haven't tried the Neti pot it helps for sinuses. Good Luck!

Sounds like you may have Pleurisy:

I have asthma and last year I experienced a soreness in my back and coughing or taking a deep breath made it more uncomfortable. I had a chest x-ray and all was fine. Never did figure what it was but it still comes and goes. I have had a touch of pleurisy before too... it really hurts.. like someone stabbing you at times. I think meds are required to help if that is what you have. You should go see your doctor.

First of all, when you go to the ER-do your own triage-if you want to be seen right away-tell them you're having trouble breathing-it works like a charm!
