Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having blunt chest trauma. And this can cause rib fracture, Pulmonary contusions, pneumothorax, musculoskeletal injury etc. All these causes cough. So better to get done chest x-ray first. If chest x-ray is normal than no need to worry much. You are having musculoskeletal injury only. You may need antihistamine Chat Doctor.  Start painkiller and muscle relaxant
