I've been experiencing some discomfort with a slight pain in my left rib area, and lately, I've started feeling cold and have a light cough with some mucus. I think the rib pain might be caused by my posture since I've been spending a lot of time working on my laptop. Could you offer some advice on what steps I should take to feel better?
