this could be costo chondritis
that is inflammation of the joints of the rib from the chest bone
or could be pleuritic pain that is inflammation of the membrane covering lungs generally this type of pain is more sharp and require hospital admission
for now you can take aspirin and lots of fluids and that should take care
feel free to come back with any question
