Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.
I understand your problem.. In pneumonia case do a sputum culture test and start a proper antibiotics under doctor's suggestion .Complete a course of antibiotics. Still symptoms present than take chest x ray for further diagnosis.
Consent a pulmonologist for further treatment.
I hope my guidance is helpful to you.
Take care.
Thank you.
