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.
Most pneumonia is caused by bacteria, according to Cedars-Sinai. Pneumonia commonly occurs after a cold, and some of its early symptoms -- cough and fever, for example -- can be mistaken for a cold. Chest pain, chest tightness, alternating chills and sweats and shortness of breath frequently accompany pneumonia as well.
