Is Pain In Side Of Body Normal While Being On Multiple Antibiotics For Pneumonia?
I was diagnosed with pneumonia 5 days ago and put on 2 different antibiotics. I feel better, in general, but my side pain is getting worse. Should I just give my body more time to heal and give the medicine more time to work, or should I go back in to my doctor?

Worsening of pain with each day is not a good sign . The possibility is that there could be some Puis formation or fluid accumulation in your lungs .
I advise you to get Chest X ray PA veiw and Complete hemogram test done and revert back .
