Hello,
I had gone through the case and found that there is very common problem occur which is Pleural effusion (accumulation of water or pus in between the layer of lung).Due to which pain occur during cough and breathing.
So do not worry, go for echo cardiogram or ultrasound of lung region.
If fluid is much more then take treatment like tapping of fluid and go for investigation of fluid.
This will be effective and useful treatment.Hope my answer will be effective treatment.
Thanks
