HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The fever and cough are likely coincidental . They would not be related to an injury to the shoulder.
The pain killers you are currently using for your other injuries may also be useful for the fever ( if paracetamol or an NSAID).
There are medications that may help with the cough.
I hope this helps
