Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Chest pain on coughing and deep breathing is mostly seen with pleurisy (inflammation of pleura).
Common cause for pleurisy is lung infection.
So first get done chest x ray.
If chest x ray is normal then no need to worry for lung infection.
Sometimes simple musculoskeletal pain can also cause similar kind of pain.
So avoid movements causing pain.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
