Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Chest pain and coughing can be due to your smoking habit.
So better to quit smoking as soon as possible.
Smoking actually cause irritation and inflammation of the airways. This can cause cough and pain.
So take antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Avoid movements causing pain. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated.
Don't do any form of exercise at present because this can cause worsen your chest pain.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these but you need two quit smoking as soon as possible.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
