Hello,

Specific treatments depend on the type and severity of your pneumonia, your age, and your overall health.

The options includes:
-Antibiotics
-Cough medicines
-Nebulizer
-Antipyretics and analgesics
-Rest

Duration of treatment may vary depending upon your condition and immunity. As your fever is still there, so infectivity is still strong, and you need a longer duration of antibiotic treatment along with other support measures.

In case the symptoms persist, you can see your nearby primary care physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prabhash Verma
