Hello,
Thank you for the query.
It usually takes 2 weeks to get recovered from this. Klebsiella not only affects lungs but also urinary tract and may be this causing you the penile discharge so both will take likely 2 weeks for the recovery. As you have started treatment the recover may be early also than I mentioned but it always depends on the severity of the disease.
Hope this answers your query. You can ask follow-up queries if you have.
WISH YOU A GOOD HEALTH.
