You need a thorough chest exam and a chest X-ray. Your symptoms can range from simple chest wall or thorax problem (muscle strain, broken rib) to a more complex pleura (lung cover) pathology and parenchymal lung disease.

Good diagnosis. A tincture of time will help it get better. But also need to find cause of cough. Are you taking a ACE for BP?
