What Causes Pain Near Stomach While Coughing After Treated Basal Pneumonia?

Good day. I'm 19 years old, a college student. I've been sick for 3 weeks already. At first, I had a serve headache. I thought it was migraine. That night I had flu. For 3 days or 4 my flu is on and off. I came to see a doctor in our schedule. She prescribed some antibiotics and medication. And then the following days I started coughing and yellow greenish phlegm came out of me when I coughed. 2nd week the cough I came to see another doctor, she advised me to rest and prescribed some medications. So i stopped taking in my previous medications so I could follow the new prescription. Wednesday that week, I had myself undergo a medical examination for my practicum. So I undergo X-ray. 2 days after, the results were out and I was diagnosed I have right basal pneumonia. So i came to see the latter doctor again. Wednesday that week I weighted 47 kg, and then Sunday I weighted 45 kg. I lost 2 kg. So she advised me to be confined in the hospital and prescribed me another antibiotic and medicines, and also stresstabs -multivitamins. But I didn't get myself confined yet since the 3rd week was crucial for my studies and I have to go to my practicum. But every day after school and practicum, my body couldn't afford to stay up anymore so I just sleep as early as 8 or 9 in the evening then wake up at 7 or 8 in the morning. That was my routine for 3 days or 4. And then I was feeling better for two nights I was able to extend my day until 11pm or 12am. I have been more productive. Today I saw the doctor again she checked my weight. I'm back to 47 again. My blood pressure is 90/60 unlike last week i was low blood (i don't remember the exact measurement anymore). But my heartbeat, the doctor said, is still not normal, and now every time i cough, the right part near my stomach hurts. So I had myself Xray-ed again today, results will be out on Monday. She advised me to continue my antibiotics and other medications but she said it's okay if i don't get myself confined in the hospital. So what should i do now?

u are on antibiotics and several medications they may have induced gastritis or ulcer in ur stomach so when u are coughing some part of stomach may be going into chest due to that medications they may be relaxing LES also that tender mucosa into les may be creating pain for u i think take proton pump inhibitors alon with other medications
