Inflammation is the body's attempt to destroy infection, and causes many of the other symptoms of bacterial pneumonia, including fever and chest pain. The lungs themselves do not have any pain fibers but are surrounded by a membrane called the pleura.
Chest tightness and the presence of a fever are signs that a bacterial infection may be present. In addition, chest-related symptoms that you attribute to a common cold may actually be caused by a primary bacterial infection. These symptoms must be evaluated by a physician for proper diagnosis and treatment.
