Hi,
You seem to have tonsillitis causing dry cough... it gives chest pain due to stress to chest muscle with a hacking cough.
A course of suitable antibiotic, anti-inflammatory medicine, anti-allergic medicine (in case origin was with allergy exposure) & cough syrup would help.
Consult your family physician. Do hot saline gargles. Avoid spicy, oily, sour & cold things.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
