Difficult to say...: It's difficult to arrive at a diagnosis based on the limited information provided, but a possible cause of chest wall pain following a respiratory infection could be pleurisy or pleuritis. This is an inflammation of the pleura, the lining surrounding the lungs. Of course, this is only one possible explanation, and chest pain should always be taken seriously. I recommend talking with your doctor.
