Chest pain: You may have bronchitis ( smoking?) or pleurisy- you need to check with your physician asap as you has symptoms for six weeks.. Do not neglect.

Get checked out: Depending on where you live, where you've traveled and a variety of other factors that you haven't mentioned, the best advice is to seek the advice of a local health care provider. If you live in the us and based on your age, the most likely problem is an infection (bronchitis or pneumonia). You'll want to get this checked out soonest.

Time to see your: Doctor. Six weeks is a long time to have cough and you need to be evaluated. Please see your doctor. Consult this site for more information, but do not get caught up between 6 or 8 weeks; 6 weeks is long enough in a young person. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/chronic-cough/ds00957.
