The pain on both sides of the stomach when coughing is usually due to the traction of the stomach pain when coughing violently, which is an involved pain and does not require special treatment and will gradually get better as the cough gets better. If the stomach pain is severe, or if it is accompanied by nausea, vomiting and other digestive symptoms, and if the stomach pain does not improve with the cough, you should be alert to whether the stomach pain is caused by a lesion in the abdomen itself. It is advisable to have some abdominal examinations, such as abdominal ultrasound, abdominal CT, etc., to further rule out abdominal problems. If the pain is caused by a cough that pulls on the abdomen, in this case, it is sufficient to treat the cough. Cough may be caused by infectious diseases, such as upper respiratory tract infection, acute tracheobronchitis, lung infection, pleurisy, etc., in which case anti-infective treatment can be given. Antibiotic anti-infection treatment can be given for bacterial infections, and if it is caused by a viral infection, antiviral drugs or Chinese herbal medicine can be given for evidence-based treatment. If the infection is caused by atypical pathogens such as mycoplasma and chlamydia, macrolide antibiotics can be given. In the case of adults older than 18 years old, they can also be treated with quinolones such as moxifloxacin. If the cough is caused by irritation from physical or chemical factors, the cough will gradually resolve when you leave this environment. When the cough is severe, you can also use appropriate cough suppressants to relieve the symptoms, such as compound licorice oral solution, etc. Note that if there is a lot of phlegm, drink phlegm-reducing medication, such as carboxymesterol oral solution, and use cough suppressants sparingly.
