I had a 2 week flu when I was about 7 or 8 and I was told by my doctor in the 1990's that I had scar tissue on both of my lungs when I had extreme chest pain for 2 weeks and he told me to take non aspirin for the pain.  I don't remember the name of the flu.  I am now 56.  Try non aspirin for the pain.
