My upper right side hurts by my collar bone?

Question

Ive been sick with a cold since wednesday now and just late last night my right side has started to hurt up by my collar bone and i was wondering what it could be? I am thinking it is just a torn muscle from coughing so hard but it hurts to take a deep breath or cough or sniff my nose. I am going to the doctor tomorrow so you do not need to recommend going cause i already am. Any feedback on what it might be would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Could also be a muscle strain in the area from all the coughing (an example only).

I hope you feel better soon.
