What Causes Persistent Pain In The Chest After A Cold?

I have had a head cold then a chest cold couple day break then the cold came back. Then flu symptons for over a week along with the cold. Most of the past three weeks,along with all this, I`ve had a stong pain coming and going in my right lung. The pain also goes into my back. It causes heartburn and alot of pain. I`m a smoker but have only had 3 cigs in the past week. I seem to be getting better other than a slight cold but the pain is still there. What are your thoughts?
