Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Pneumonia occurs due to respiratory infection and it is contagious but no need to worry. You have already taken a course of antibiotics. You are called for repeat x ray to check healing process. No need to worry about spread of infection.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
