Pleurisy, or worse: This could be a case of pleuritis, an inflammation of the lining of the lung that often occurs with viral symptoms. If so, it is treated with anti-inflammatory drugs like naproxyn and ibuprofen. On the other hand, there are a number of serious and potentially life-threatening disease that can cause chest pain. I'd talk to your doctor first thing if possible.
