Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with weight gain and vomiting following a diagnosis of pneumonia with antibiotics treatment I will suggest the cause of the symptoms is could be due to gastritis (inflammation of the stomach) with improved nutritional supplements however studies have not show that antibiotics can promote weight gain
I hope this helps Regards
