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.
By Susan Chow, PhD, ELS. Pneumonia is an acute lung infection in which the aveolar sacs become inflamed, filling with fluid or pus. These lung secretions cause deep coughing, labored breathing, and often limit proper oxygenation of the blood. Other symptoms include fever, chills, nausea, headaches, muscle aches, and chest pain. For most of the population, pneumonia is highly treatable; however, in certain cases, pneumonia can develop into a severe medical condition that requires hospitalization, and if left untreated, can result in death.
