Hi
No doubt pneumonia is contagious but cough,fever and dyspnoea are the key symptoms.Your symptoms are in favor of simple any kind of infection.Keep monitoring of your symptoms,any kind of worsening needs consultation of physician.Take 3-5 days course of Azithromycin 500 mg once a day plus symptomatics.
