popping in back

[bozu20023]

today while breathing slumped over, i noticed a popping noise in the top right part of my back. i just noticed it, it does not cause any pain. i have had a bad cough the past 2 weeks probably due to my bad sinuses, cause my girlfriend has the cough as well.

Hi!
Once in a while you may feel a muscle spasm or fluid in lungs (since you have a cough). However, if this persists then you need to get this investigated. Meanwhile drink plenty of fluids and take oral rehydration solution twice in a day for 2-3 days. This will help take care of any dehydration and also help you with cough. If your cough and the popping sensation persists, please consult a doctor. Take care!
