Like Quester posted, at a minimum, I would want some lab work to see what is going on.
As far as chest congestion, the only thing that works for me without causing my heart a lot of grief is 400mg guaifenesin tablets. I usually buy the CVS store brand. It's just guaifenesin, with no other active ingredients. However, you have to stay well hydrated for it to be effective and follow the dosing schedule for adults; 1 tablet every 4 hours. It should at least help to get some of that crud out of your lungs.
Again, with your symptoms and that fever, I'd be ringing up my Dr. You may need antibiotics and they may want to grab a chest X-ray and evaluate you for developing a pleurisy.
