Can Cold, Hot Sweats, Itching And Mild Fever Be Symptoms Of Pneumonia?

I think I have pneumonia and I normally have a temp of 98.9. I am having cold and hot sweats and feel very achy. I'm coughing up mucous. I just took my temp because I just don't feel like myself a factually quite miserable. My temp is 96.6 orally. Is this a cause for concern?

Hi,
As symptoms are not severe, there is less likely of having pneumonia but might have lower respiratory tract infection.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Take cough syrup as well.
Ok and take care.
