Hi welcome to HCM...

You were having cough problem and prescribed antibiotics for that ..
There might be URTI or mild bronchitis like infection...

Chest x ray shows no abnormality so no need to worry for bronchitis or pneumonia like infection.....

Excess coughing can lead muscular chest pain...
Avoid strenous work ...
Take rest ...
Avoid bad sleep posture ...
Warm compress can be applied ....

Advise : Although you have improved consult pulmonologist for auscultation and if needed further work up

Take care
