Hi and thanks for the query,
It would be better in my opinion to evaluate the flu and pain differently. Absence of cough or generalized chest pain and fever make the correlation of the flu and chest pain very unlikely. It is also important to know if you experienced any recent trauma or not. A physical examination by your doctor and a chest x ray could be enough to exclude any serious lung or chest condition. It is very unlikely in this case to have a serious problem. However, I suggest you consult your primary care doctor. Kind regards.
