How Long Does It Take To Cure Chest Infection?

AOA, my son Hasnain (age 5 months)is admitted in hospital for chest infection (vomitting and cough issues). Today is his 5th day of admission and still he is not perfectly OK, i still can hear fluid inside his chest while he breathes. Doctors are giving him anti-biotics and some injections daily. My query is why so much time and still not 100 % recovery??? Should i be worried about this??? Should i get some other tests also??? Plz reply at earliest.

Regards,
Abdullah
