I hope this makes sense and thank you for reading
[|AI|]  Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Travelling is a risk factor for pneumonia. So in your case, since you are still having coughing and chest pain, better to consult pulmonologist and get done1. Repeat chest x ray2. PUT (pulmonary function test). Repeat chest x-ray is needed to rule out worsening of pneumonia. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis as this is common after pneumonia. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine Chat Doctor.  So better to consult pulmonologist and first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Don't worry, you will be alright.
