From the last 4-5 days when I'm coughing it pains me on the right side of the chest it happens only during coughing and when I lay down straight or on the right side. At times it doesn't even hurt during coughing as well but at times it's there. I'm worried and seeking guidance.

If you have a fever with cough and pain,get a chest x-ray done.If no fever,it could be due to chest wall muscle strain due to coughing.Take some analgesic like zerodol p twice daily and a cough suppressant.

Hello,
My advice is before starting any medication, please find the cause of it. See if there's any infection, get and chest Xray to rule out any pneumonia or anything related to your lungs and pleura. Also do you have fever or any other symptoms? Does the cough produce any sputum with it?.
Kindly consult for a better understanding of your symptoms and to find out the underlying disease.
Thanks
Stay healthy.

Have you been coughing a lot as a result of a recent throat infection? That could cause muscles around your lungs to strain and consequently the pain with each cough. If that's the case, try suppressing the cough for now with some (1 or 2 doses) of cough syrup for immediate relief and try taking a course of antibiotics, (eg. Tab Azithromycin (500 mg) once a day for 5 days). Muscle strain is most likely the scenario.
Next Steps
Find comfortable positions to sleep. Hold a pillow against the right side of your chest when coughing. Try some over the counter pain relief meds like Ibuprofen (400mg), (maximum twice per day), stay hydrated and avoid strenuous activity. This should give you relief.
Health Tips
However the fact that you mentioned pain with changing position warrants further evaluation. It could be pleuritic pain. Please report any kind of shortness of breath, even if mild, while lying supine. See a doctor if the positional pain is severe, along with shortness of breath, or if coughing blood, or if high fever, rapid heart rate, skin turning blue, or if pain shoots down your arm. If your lungs sounds are abnormal on the stethoscope, you would need a chest x ray and your oxygen saturation will have to be seen with a pulse oximeter, you might even need an ultrasound if any gallbladder issue is suspected.
