hello dear
thanks for your query at HCM
this can be due to pleurisy .
there are two layers of tissue covering lung like curtains called pleura
any infection or irritation of this pleura will cause sharp pain during th cough , pain can be such severe that you cannot take proper respiration
get one chest x ray done , consult doctor , take medication accordingly.
