Chest Pain
Cough is a reflex of the body that involves the muscles of your abdomen and chest wall. Thus, when a dry cough makes you do this more frequently, these areas will work much harder. This leads to inflammation and irritation that cause painful sensations around your chest. It might get worse every time you cough to push out irritants or mucus. If left untreated for an extended period, your respiratory system might be considerably affected. [4]
