Hello, Welcome to Ask a doctor services. I have read your query.
Post recovery from pneumonia, you need to take care of your self. Pneumonia causes generalized weakness. It often weakens your immune system. Sometimes it has a tendency to relapse also.
If you are feeling fatigue or have fever, you need to visit ER, for a follow up examination. Your treating doctor may want a repeat blood workout & X-Ray, CT, MRI to evaluate your condition.
Stay away from alcohol or addictions if any. Continue to take the medicines prescribed to you. For pain leg yo can take analgesics, Acetminophen, one sos when needed.
Take food home made food rich in calcium, iron & protein. You can take multivitamin supplements. Stay well hydrated, take adequate sleep.
Hope I have answered your question. Take care.
