You should start with an imaging study of your chest-either a chest x-ray or a CT scan-to see if there is anything there to account for your symptoms, like an abscess, pneumonia, etc. If there is nothing in your chest that explains your symptoms, have your dentist check to see if there is anything in your mouth to account for your symptoms-like a mouth abscess, tooth decay, etc. See your doctor!
