Chest pains are never a good thing and if it persists go back and see the doctor as adviceman said. There are some muscles between your ribs, called intercostals and you can certainly strain these by coughing hard. Just one or two really deep coughs might do it. There's no actual treatment apart from rest and not over-reaching or exerting yourself for a while, though it's often very painful indeed and can take a long time to go away completely. The doctor will be able to get you to do certain actions to see which ones do or do not make it jab or ache and so on, and tell you straight away if it's a muscular thing or not. But don't ignore it if it comes back or goes on too long. Like we said, chest pains always need investigating. Muscular damage from coughing can be painful, but it's by far the 'best' result when you speak to a doctor about chest pains.

None of us are doctors so we cannot give you a definitive answer to your question. clamovid is an antibiotic medication approved for the treatment of many bacterial infections. Many antibiotics take several days before they start to work. Since you don't say how long you have been on the medication it is possible you have not given the medication a chance to work.
The pain in your chest could be from your coughing or it could be from the infection itself. It could also be a combination of both. Since I am not a doctor I really can't say.
My suggestion would be if you have given the medication 4 or 5 days to work and have taken it as directed. Then I would suggest you call your doctor and see if the doctor wants to change your medication.
