• Stomach muscle pain

I currently have the flu, my symptoms started Friday. My stomach muscles started to hurt really bad yesterday when I cough or blow my nose or move certain ways. Its so painful i dread blowing my nose sneezing or coughing. Is this a cause for concern?

You may have injured the rectus abdominus muscles due to severe coughing. It should resolve once the coughing abates. Use ibuprofen to ease the pain.
