Hi,
Pneumonia takes 1-2 months for compelte cure.
Pneumonic patch might not have dissolved completely.
So this might be pleuiritic pain giving chest pain and radiating pain to shoulder.
Go for deep breathing exercises.
Take analgesic like ibuprofen if require.
Avoid cold drinks and cold atmosphere.
Ok and take care.
