Hi I am Dr.Shreyash Mehta, MD community medicine

Sir as you told you have recovered from pnuemonia and you had fever after 2 weeks of antibiotics it subsided a bit.

But you still have afternoon rise of temperature.

How is you appetite: normal/increased/decreased? Do you have weight loss?

I advise you to go to your physician get a thorogh check up with complete hemogram and sputum examination.

It may be that infection which cased pnuemonia hasnot subsided completely
or
Pneumonia/touch of it may have been an acute exacerbation of tubercular pnuemonitis.
or
You may suffering from flu like disease.

So one need to get thorough examination done to rule out tuberculosis infection especially by sputum examination.
