Pneumonia like symptoms myself

Published

Hey, I am 27 years old nurse. I have just started work in rotating nurse team, who goes to different wards day by day.

Today I was assigned to respiratory ward for the first time.

Today I took care of 4 pneumonia patients and during the shift already I felt little bit of fever myself.

After work at 10pm, I visited bar with my coworker and drank one shot and walked home and it was heavy to walk because I had symptoms of fever, headache and back pain.

Now when I try to sleep, I have strong neck and upper back pain and fever, headache.

Is it possible these symptoms can be pneumonia?

but I do not have cough otherwise, which is most common symptoms of pneumpnia.

And is it possible that there can be no intubation time? like I got virus /bacteria in the morning and symptoms come directly after few hours?

I am thinking to go to see the doctor as soon as possible bit I am just worried so I leave question here

Hope some expert nurse answer my questions...
