Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Chest pain with fever is seen in lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI - pneumonia).
Your ecg is normal so no need to worry for cardiac diseases.
Pneumonia causes pleurisy (inflammation of pleura). And this causes localised chest pain at the area of pneumonia.
So better to get done chest x ray to rule out pneumonia.
If chest x ray is normal then no need to worry for pneumonia.
You need painkiller and anti inflammatory drugs for pain and fever.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
