Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I am Dr.Barani and I am pleased to assist you.
Amoxicillin is the antibiotic of choice if your symptoms are due to bacterial pneumonia. Since you are showing signs of improvement, continue taking it.
I would however advice you to get a chest xray done to confirm the diagnosis.
If the symptoms are persisting or worsening, consult your primary care physician for further management.
