Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic and thanks for putting up the query
As per your complaints, you have chest infection..you are already taking appropriate medicines..my advise is to continue antibiotics for another 5 days to complete 2 weeks..rest of the medicines should also be continued..instead of allegra take a decongestant tablet that contains ambroxol and phenylephrine plus levocetrizine twice daily..it will thin down the secretions and will aid in faster relief.. Take an expectorant cough syrup 2 spoons 3 times everyday
all medicines are available only on prescription
Also take steam inhalation..
It usually6 takes upto 3 weeks for all signs and symptoms of pneumonia to disappear..
Any further queries are always welcome
wishing you a speedy recovery
Thanks and regards
