General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The soreness in chest with deep dry cough indicate underlying lower respiratory tract infection. Looking towards the symptomatic severity I recommend to get an X-ray chest for further management with your family doctor.

Though primary relief can be obtained with inhalation of vapors of boiled water with added tincture Benzoin solution.

Regards.
