Hi, I value your concern regarding the symptoms. I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion these are signs of infection, and you will need an X ray and some blood investigations, to make that clear, your treatment will depend on the findings in your examination and the report of your tests.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
Special note- Any medication prescribed needs to be taken after consultation with your personal doctor only.
