I have been suffering with asthma and allergy symptoms for the past several weeks, due to the multitude of wildfire smoke in my immediate area. All my coughing has now caused a pain in my left rib cage every time I cough. Will this go away when the cough is gone? My dr has me on Flonase and a short dose of prednisone in addition to my other asthma inhalers.
