Following allergies or a cold I was sick for one week (about 5 weeks ago), then chest hurt for 1 week then body aches for 4 weeks. why would your body get achy in the late afternoon evening and sometimes have sharp pains in one side on upper back and when breath in?

Hello,
I think it might be costochondritis following cold. However, should rule out possible pleurisy. Get a chest xray done to determine the right diagnosis.
Rest more, Take paracetamol and plenty of fluids.
Wish fast recovery.
