Hi...

Welcome to healthcare magic..

According to your complain you have problem of right side pain that may be because of pneumonia...
Still you have problem of cough also......

Consult a pulmonologist for further diagnosis..
Take one chest x ray to see any lesion in lung..

If you have mild pain than that may be because of muscle strain..
Excecive straining during coughing also cause.. ..
Mention about your intensity and duration of pain..
Detail history and physical examination give exact idea..

I hope my guidance helpful to you...
Take care.
