My lungs and throat hurt when i cough and it started really randomly. what could this be?

Infection: with a virus or bacteria. Most commonly cough with sore throat and chest discomfort is due to a virus. In most young adults without significant medical problems, these respiratory infections clear up on their own. Help your body heal itself by getting plenty of rest, and drinking lots of fluids (water, juice, etc.) - avoid too much caffeine. Robitussin DM or Mucinex (guaifenesin) DM can be helpful.
