Brief Answer:
Get done repeat chest x ray.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should get done chest x ray to know the severity of pneumonia.
You are not improving with antibiotic you have taken.
So better to start appropriate antibiotic according to the sensitivity report. This is ideal way to treat pneumonia.
So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, sputum culture and sensitivity report.
Culture report will isolate the causative organism and sensitivity report will tell you about effective antibiotic treatment.
For chest pain and shoulder pain, take anti inflammatory drugs.
Drink plenty of fluids orally.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
