What Could Sharp Chest Pain With Fever And Cough Suggest?

I've been having these sharp pains in my chest for about a week. They come and go and started in just a spot on my chest but have streched over the spand of my chest in a little over a week. I have been sick for about 3 weeks and have been coughing a lot, but i don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having chronic cough (cough for more than 2 weeks) and fever and now developed chest pain.
So we should definitely rule out pneumonia in your case.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and chest x ray.
Chest x ray is must for the diagnosis of pneumonia.
You will need antibiotics, antihistamine, anti inflammatory and other supportive drugs.
Drink plenty of fluids orally.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
