CBC = complete blood count. Basically it gives you a break down of your bllod profile. Form this lab value, you can determine if someone is anemic, or has an elevated white blood count suggestive of inflammation.
I don't know your age, or have a good grasp of your history. However, chest pain with breathing especially with recent episode of cough, sore throat is most likely either pneumonia, pneumonitis, costochondritis, or rib fracture. A chest X-Ray from a radiologist would certainly help elucidate or at least narrow down the possible list of problems listed.
