Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The cause of painful breathing may be pneumonia, pleurisy, a lung infection caused by a virus, fungus, or bacteria or due to infection in chest cavity. It is nice to know that you are fine now & you have no complains about cough, but you need to be examined & get at least investigations like lung function tests & X-ray Chest done. If the reports are fine no worries but otherwise you will have to go for some more investigations & you may need to get treated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
