The pain in the stomach when coughing is mainly due to the increase in abdominal pressure during coughing, which pulls the corresponding muscle groups and causes damage to some abdominal muscles, which is why it causes abdominal pain, and should be actively treated with cough suppressant and phlegm-relieving drugs. Cough is one of the most common symptoms of respiratory diseases and is caused by inflammation, foreign body, physical or chemical irritation of the trachea, bronchial mucosa or pleura. It is manifested first by the closure of the vocal cords, contraction of the respiratory muscles and an increase in intrapulmonary pressure, followed by the opening of the vocal cords and the ejection of air from the lungs, usually accompanied by sound, and recurrently. Coughing is a protective measure of the body and has the protective effect of removing foreign bodies and secretions from the respiratory tract. However, if the cough does not stop and turns from acute to chronic, chest tightness, throat itching and shortness of breath may occur. When a patient has abdominal pain caused by severe coughing, it is recommended to adjust the posture, adopt a comfortable position preferred by the patient, and give appropriate adjustments in accordance with the principles of treatment, usually in a side-lying flexed kneeling position, semi-sitting position or sitting position.
