Yes, back pain can be related to repeated bouts of coughing (resulting from both dry and chesty coughs).

The most likely reason is that you have strained a muscle in your back.

For some people, a severe bout of coughing has been known to cause hernias, or small fractures of the ribs. These instances are, thankfully rare.

If your problem is a muscle strain, I would recommend the use of Arnica gel applied to the affected area.

If the problem does not improve within a week, you should seek the advice of your doctor as any unexplained pain should not be left unattended.
