Hello,
Since , how many days , you are having this pain in chest as you stated that 4 months back got an X ray chest.
Cough , sneezing present , but pain site is not mentioned .
Pain may be due to chondritis ( infection of cosatal muscles or ribs).
If cough is dry and recurrent may be due to allergic bronchitis and in X ray we will not find any thing in the beginning.
So in my opinion consult one more physician and get his opinion and complete blood test.
Good luck.
