Cat squeezed in drawer, now coughing. What injuries could she have?

Question

My cat was climbing into a large kitchen drawer while it was closing and got squeezed and has been coughing since. What may have happened to her? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 6 lbs

IT could be due to bruising to the chest and lungs, if the coughing do not resolve within a few days i recommend taking her to the vet in order to get it checked, there could be some more serious damage in the lungs or thorax that might require treatment.
