[Nottobad]

What medication were you given. Ask GP for pneumonia and flu jabs. The flu jab you should have every year and the pneumonia jab is once and should last for 10 year. If you have lung problems.

I was hospitalised for there days I had antibiotics for 5 days finish all the courses but I'm still having really bad pain and headache I phoned doctor they said all the reports fine they can't do anymore

[Nottobad in reply to Aftab1]

I had pneumonia last November was in hospital for three days my sats stayed high 94 and above. Was given abs and introvinas abs and pain killers. Then sent home with more abs and painkillers. Five days worth. Went for a chest X-ray in December and my chest was clear. Then two weeks later came down with another bug. I would go back to your GP you maybe coming down with something else. Take care

But how long take to get better from penomonia

[Nottobad in reply to Aftab1]

Everyone is different some take longer than others. If your not happy go back to your GP.

[Jummie in reply to Nottobad]

Everyone is different as Nottobad says. I am in hospital with pneumonia in my right lung and been in hospital for 6 days now. Go get it rechecked in case it is still there.

That's a rubbish try to get a doctors appointment preferably someone who deals with chest complaints if they see you they can decide how you are breathing, if you are sweating etc. It's impossible over the phone to make those decisions.

Good luck

I fell so weak and chest pain doctors said it's normal

[shouty in reply to Aftab1]

So sorry you still feeling poorly. There have been some really nasty bugs & infections around this year ! Try & eat very healthy stuff and keep hydrated with lots of water to build up your immune system. But if chest pains still there worth getting checked again. It could be muscle pain if you had bad cough though All the best

[Aftab1 in reply to shouty]

I don't have cough but doctor said stomach problem but my pain doesn't come with the food it always there

[shouty in reply to Aftab1]

Do you know what is the stomach problem

[Aftab1 in reply to shouty]

They said it's gas making heartburn problum but my concern is it's not going if it is gas normally it comes after the food not all the time

[peege]

The 'heartburn' could be acid reflux which can happen even w hen the stomach is empty and you're very stressed. You could try some Gaviscon and if that makes no difference then back to the GP and tell him/her.

I'm very surprised you had only 5 days of antibiotics, in fact I'd go as far as to say that's shocking. I've had pneumonia a few times and always had at least 7 days, often a second or third course. It usually took three months to get over but we're all different. I think you should get a second opinion from another doctor - urgently if your temperature goes up.

You could also ring the helpline, 03000 030555, UK office hours. The experts could give you guidance on how to get help.

Drink plenty of fluids, eat healthily, perhaps take a tonic and vitamins until you recover. Good luck
