Hi,
The chest tightness could be due to muscle strain induced by a cough. But still to be sure it's advisable to investigate with chest x ray for and EKG for further work up.
You should take decongestant tablet like Levocetirizine or phenylephrine for relief from cold. Apply a hot compress to the chest for soothing. For a headache, paracetamol sos can be prescribed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
