Hello Norma, welcome to Chat Doctor .the most likely cause of your pain is muscle spasm due to coughing. Sometimes due to coughing, our intercostal muscles(chest muscles) go into spasm.I would advise you to take a painkiller like diclofenac with pantoprazole and also a muscle relaxant like flexion Mr. Ideally it should resolve in 4 5 days, if it persists visit a nearby doctor and get a chest X-ray done. Pneumonia symptoms are much worse, u will get fever, fatigue,anorexia, cough with sputum etc.pls visit a doctor if you're experiencing these symptoms hope this solves your query. Thank you
