HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Chest pains can occur as a result of persistent coughing but if you are an asthmatic then you need to rule out an acute asthmatic attack.
If you are asthmatic then you need to use your reliever inhaler. If the inhaler is not effective then you may need to seek treatment with your doctor.
Additional treatment for viral illness : rest, use of enough fluids, cough medication (if cough not due to asthma).
I hope this helps
