What Causes Excessive Tiredness Despite Taking Antibiotics For Pneumonia?
Hello, On Friday, I was diagnosed with pneumonia and the chest x-ray states Minimal linear subsegmental atelectasis in the left lower lobe. I have been taking an antibiotic since Friday. I am still feeling tired and drained. Is this to be expected with minimal linear subsegmental atelectasis in the left lower lobe?

Hey,
Minimal linear atelectasis doesn't mean pneumonia of lung, but still if you are diagnosed as pneumonia then it's ok.
And yes tiredness is expected for 4-5 days at least.
