Do colds set your symptoms off or did I make it worse?

Wondering if other people experience a set back in symptoms during a coughing cold? I have a rectocele that is mostly symptom free (heaviness, dragging, pressure, ball feeling) but am on day 5 of coughing my lungs out from a cold. Last night the heaviness started and was still around this morning. I have lots of pressure towards the front of the vagina and a bubble like sensation.

I'm worried that all the coughing made something worse or is it normal to have a bit of a set back and this should even out once the coughing stops?
