How Long Does Pneumonia Take To Get Cured?

Hu I was diagnosed with pneumonia 4 weeks ago. I had a follow up chest xray today. It showed an iMprovement with my lungs but the consultant is still not entirely happy. I still have a very bad cough, shortness of breath and absolutely no energy. I work as a deli assistant with involves a lot of time in a walk in freezer and cold room. How soon do you think I could return to work.
