Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You were having severe cough history, so by excess coughing muscle strain can be there and so chest pain present. If needed ibuprofen like non steroid anti-inflammatory drug can be prescribed for five days. Hot compress can be applied. If needed EKG investigation can be done to check cardiac cause. Consult physician for examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
