Question: Last month I had a high fever without any other symptoms..a week later I had a high fever blister on my nose ..usually I get fever blisters only when I have a severe infection going on..I had no cough or shortness of breath but I have back pain in the lung area for about 3 weeks ..could I have pneumonia with No fever or cough? It feels like a tightness ..but I do have tight muscles in the neck area.. but I can exercise on the elliptical without any problem..thanks

Brief Answer:
It is unlikely to be a presentation of pneumonia.

Detailed Answer:
Hi....
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor"service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX

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.
