General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Pneumonia takes about 3-4 weeks to recover completely.
After such illness weakness and fatigue remains for some time.
Take high nourishing diet and protien diet as there is loss of protien in expectoration.
Go for deep breathing exercises.
Ok and take care.
