Hello,

Your symptoms could be related to a local infection. I recommend consulting with your physician for a physical exam and performing an X-ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR).

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
