Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Bacterial infection is common in rainy season. You are also having cold. So this can cause lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI). And chest pain is seen in LRTI.
So better to get done chest x ray to rule out LRTI.
If chest x ray is normal than no need to worry for LRTI.
Sometimes gastritis can also cause similar kind of chest pain.
So avoid stress and tension.
Avoid hot and spicy food. Start proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic drugs.
Drink plenty of fluids orally.
Don't worry, you will be alright, but first rule out LRTI by chest x ray.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
