I developed a small cold on Wednesday and it's been keeping me up all night with coughing. This morning I woke up with pain in my lower abdomen every time I cough. I just got my period today, so I'm wondering if that's why it hurts. Could the coughing be related to my period cramps, or is it something else I should be concerned about?

Persistent coughing can be sometimes problematic which put pressure in your chest and abdomen also which can cause the pain.
