Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of gum infection is more in your case.
Pneumonia causes cough, fever, expectoration and chest pain.
You are not having any of the above mentioned symptoms.
So possibility of pneumonia is unlikely in your case.
Gum and tooth infection can cause similar symptoms. So better to consult dentist and get done clinical examination of your teeth and gums.
To rule out pneumonia, chest x ray is needed.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
