Hello,

Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, there is one type of uncommon pneumonia in which the Zpak is 100% effective--mycoplasma. Otherwise it fails about a third of the time maybe slightly more. With phlegm, fever, chills, etc.

Those are quite serious signs and starting over with another DIFFERENT treatment would generally be done. Pain in the lung is a sign of pneumonia That would be bad, too.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
