Brief Answer:
It takes at least 4-5 days.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Lung infection takes at least 4-5 days to show improvement.
Since you are already having underlying lung disease (asthma) recovery may take longer duration.
So don't worry. Take your medication timely.
You will start improving after 4-5 days.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
