Suggest Treatment For Pneumonia And Shortness Of Breath While Lying Down

Considerations
Detailed Answer:
thanks for sending the question.
Levofloxacin is a very good antibiotic that is used very commonly to treat pneumonia.
I suspect that you may be having some trouble breathing because of the pneumonia. Pneumonia decreases your lungs ability to oxygenate your blood.
I would expect your symptoms to gradually improve over the next 7 to 10 days.
if your symptoms of shortness of breath get worse or if you're not able to perform your normal activities of daily living without significant shortness of breath then I think you should talk to your doctor again.
Thanks again for sending your question and again I think you will start to feel better fairly soon as this is a very good treatment.

thanks again for the question.
It's probably a combination of both. The air in the winter tends to be very dry. the antibiotic may also contribute to this.
