Hi....
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor"service.

I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.

It is not likely to be a pneumonia.
The cardinal features of pneumonia are high grade fever,cough and breathlessness.

For soreness of back muscles,you can take over the counter NSAIDs like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and Ibuprofen (Advil).

Hope that I have answered your query.

Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards.
