Chest wall strain : if you had cough so long it can cause strain of chest wall muscles, tendons,ribs...pain in chest, especially with derp breath, sneezing.change of position. #1 treat cough! if gone #2 keep deep breathing exercises - ok to use Advil (ibuprofen) if tolerated up to 800 mg every 8 hours . Condition called " costochondritis" common. Check w MD if need Chest X ray to check other reasons. .
