Hi welcome to the health care magic

In diabetes chances of infection are more...
Opportunistic fungal infection chances also present

So detail clinical history taken work up done in following ways....
-Chest x ray
-Auscultation
-CBC
-Sputum examination esp gram and AFB stain

If x ray shows consolidation than pneumonia can be there and antibiotic given...

You might be kept under observation in hospital for three to five days and if needed intravenous medication can be given

For pain paracetamol will be given and if pleurisy leads severe unbearable pain than tramadol sos can be prescribed

Take care

Pulmonologoist consultation advisable for examination
