Hellowelcome to ChatDoctorthere can be following possible reasons for your pain on right side of chest(1) PLEURISY i.e. inflammation of the outer covering of lungs(2) PNEUMONITIS i.e. infection of the lung tissue(3) COSTCO Chat Doctor. E inflammation of cartilages of rib cage(4) MUSCULOSKELETAL due to strain/sprain of the muscles of the rib cage however precise diagnosis can be made by physical examination and from getting a X-ray OF CHEST which I'm sure your treating physician will do before prescribing you the appropriate treatment regards
