Hi, As you are having cough since one week or so, it is very likely that the pain you are experiencing may be because of the stress due to coughing. Then also please investigate yourself for chest x-ray, CBC,Esr and if needed sputum examination(if you can bring out the sputum).
Meanwhile you can take some light analgesics and antitussives.
