Hi welcome to the health care magic
If you are having pneumonia secondary to bactetemia than fever usually present along with cough...
You have only chest hurt problem
So better to consult physician for following work up...
-Auscultation
-CBC (look for neutrophils or lymphocytosis)
-Urine culture according to which specific antibiotic given
-Chest x ray
Meanwhile drink more water and fruit juice
Cranberry juice extract tablet useful
If cold more than levocetrizine taken for congestion relief
Hope this will help
Take care
