Brief Answer:
Need to be examined. Could be pneumonia.

Detailed Answer:
Hello there,
The pain you are describing could be due to infection in the lungs or the covering of the lungs (pleuritis). It would have helped to know if you are running a fever. Though sometimes this pain could be muscular but fever is pointing towards some infection.

In my opinion a thorough clinical examination is needed and further blood tests like CBC, Liver function, Kidney function, and an X-ray is warranted for further management of your condition.
If it is pneumonia you may need antibiotics and depending on the severity dosage can be suggested.
Do not delay as early on it can be treated with oral antibiotics itself.
Hope this helps. If you have any other questions you can ask or rate the answer and close the query.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
You need antibiotics.

Detailed Answer:
Hello there,
Good that you went to the physician and got diagnosed. I suppose they must have started you on antibiotics. Do take the entire course correctly.
Do not hesitate to take injections of antibiotics as the infection does not respond to oral medications.
Hope you get well soon. Please close the query and rate the answer if there are no further questions.
Take care.
