Hello,
You do need to have the chronic cough evaluated by a doctor. I coughing lasting longer than 2 weeks is not normal and needs to be treated.
As for the back pain - talk to your doctor about that as well. There could be several causes which would include bruised rib, dislocated rib, broken rib or other interanl damage from the cough. I dislocate a rib with a severe cough. There are other potential causes of the pain and a docotr would have to evelaute the real cause.
Take care and feel better. I know your pain.
