What Causes Pain In Lower Lobe Lung?

My doctor has informed me I have a lung function of 62% post a whooping cough infection.
I am a smoker.
I am attempting to quit but am concerned about the constant lower lobe lung pain.
I have no other overt signs of COPD.
What is causing the pain? It is at a level where I pain relief is indicated.

Avoid smoking to prevent damage to lung tissue by elastase that is released by smoking....
