SimpleCXR: Most experienced clinicians can diagnose on exam, however a simple cxr, after hydration, is diagnostic.

See doctor: A physical exam & probable chest x-ray should nail the diagnosis. Fever & chills suggest pneumonia; antibiotic, expectorant to get out secretions, & med to suppress cough when needed to get rest should help.
