What Causes Severe Chest Pain From Persistent Dry Cough?

I have been coughing heavily for a week now. Went to the doctor and was prescribed Antibiotics, prednisone and an inhaler after 2 breathing treatments in the office. Although I feel a little better, My lungs (chest) hurt and I still cough without much production. The coughing is like I can t catch my breath.. I was told it was acute bronchitis but the pain when I cough seems to be getting worse not better.
