Hello dear
Thanks for your query at HCM.
Sharp pain chest after cough indicate that its because of pleurisy. means inflammation of pleura , its tissue that is covering lung.
My recommendation for such prolonged cough and pain would be that get chest x ray , and visit your doctor so that he can guide you on further investigation and management.
regards.
