hi, i was diagnosed having mild pneumonia, and my dr. gave me cefixime, lovofloxacin and azithromycin, now i cant walk, my knees are swollen, my muscles are so weak, my whole body is aching. I feel so bad and can not work. My Dr removed the lovofloxacin after 8 days and the azithromycin after 4 days. Im only taking cefixime now, but still my body, bone and joint ache too much. Can I take any pain reliever? I am a diabetic but controlled sugar

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be to the pneumonia. The infections in the system may cause joint and muscle pain. I suggest using a painkiller such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using magnesium supplement daily. I recommend to rest and eat a healthy diet.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
