I'm having chest pain after a flu-like infection. Is that normal?

So, I had a flu-like infection 10 days ago. Apart from a mild nasal congestion and infrequent coughing, I recovered within a few days. Starting yesterday, I've been feeling chest pain right in the middle upper part of my chest that is intensified by dry cough but felt at rest too. I've never had anything similar following a cold, so is this normal? Should I wait a bit or should I seek a doctor soon?

The pain does get quite intense with coughing.
